In the CA1 hippocampal pyramidal cell, GluK2 traffics to the neuronal surface and synapse efficiently and the auxiliary subunits Neto1 and Neto2 caused no further enhancement of these two trafficking processes. GluK2 caused a more than 10-fold increase in synaptic transmission. It is the amino-terminal domains of GluK1 and GluK2 that control their strikingly different trafficking properties.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
