Description: Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) are pentameric ligand-gated ion channels. The a7 subtype of nAChRs is involved
in neurological pathologies such as Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, addiction, epilepsy and autism spectrum
disorders. The Drosophila melanogaster a7 (Da7) has the closest sequence homology to the vertebrate a7 subunit and it can
form homopentameric receptors just… more

Differential Effects of Human L1CAM Mutations on Complementing Guidance and Synaptic Defects in Drosophila melanogaster
Type: Text
Year: 2013, 2013
Member of: FAU College Collections
Contributors: Freund, Julie, Godenschwege, Tanja A., Hortsch, Michael, Kudumala, Sirisha, Labrador, Juan-Pablo
Description: A large number of different pathological L1CAM mutations have been identified that result in a broad spectrum of
neurological and non-neurological phenotypes. While many of these mutations have been characterized for their effects on
homophilic and heterophilic interactions, as well as expression levels in vitro, there are only few studies on their biological
consequences in vivo. The single… more
