Abstract
We report the cloning of human GluR4c, an alternative splicing isoform of GluR4. Similar to rodent and chick GluR4c mRNA, human GluR4c had a 113-bp insert containing a stop codon, resulting in a short C terminus. The expression of human GluR4c was widespread in the brain, and was upregulated with development in the cerebellum and cerebral cortex where the level of it was about 30% of total GluR4 mRNA in adult stage. The GluR4 subunit may play a pivotal role in regulating channel properties as well as trafficking of alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionate (AMPA) receptors in the adult human brain.Entities:
