A truncated Kv1.1 protein in the brain of the megencephaly mouse: expression and interactionAnn Sophie Persson
Department of Molecular Medicine and Surgery, CMM, Karolinska Hospital, Karolinska Institutet, 171 76 Stockholm, Sweden
BMC Neurosci 6:65. 2005..However, high Kv1.1 mRNA levels in mceph/mceph brain indicated that it escaped this control mechanism. Therefore, we hypothesized that the truncated Kv1.1 would be expressed and dysregulate other Kv1 subunits in the mceph/mceph mice...
