NKCC1 and KCC2 prevent hyperexcitability in the mouse hippocampus

The effect of repeated stress on KCC2 and NKCC1 immunoreactivity in the hippocampus of female mice.

K(+)-Cl(-) co-transporter (KCC2) and Na(+)-K(+)-2Cl(-) co-transporter (NKCC1) are the main regulators of neuronal intracellular chloride concentration; altered expression patterns of KCC2 and NKCC1 have been reported in several neurodegenerative diseases. In this paper, we show the effect of repeated stress on KCC2, NKCC1, and serine 940 phosphorylated KCC2 (pKCC2(ser940)) immunoreactivity. The...

KCC2 AND NKCC1 IN THE CONTROL OF NEURONAL Cl

KCC2 expression supersedes NKCC1 in mature fiber cells in mouse and rabbit lenses

PURPOSE Na-K-Cl cotransporter 1 (NKCC1) and K-Cl cotransporter 2 (KCC2) have fundamental roles in neuron differentiation that are integrated with gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and glutamate receptors, GABA synthesized by GAD25/65/67 encoded by GAD1/GAD2 genes, and GABA transporters (GATs). Cells in the eye lens express at least 13 GABA receptor subunits, α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolep...

phylogeography and genetic diversity of the lesser mouse- eared bat (myotis blythii) in iran

in current study, 63 samples of bat populations collected from differ regions were used for evaluating the geographic variations. twenty cranial and dental characters for traditional morphometric and landmarks method on the ventral, dorsal skull and mandible for geometry morphometric studies were used. statistical analyses of traditional morphometric and geometry morphometric data indicated low...

Altered expression of regulators of the cortical chloride transporters NKCC1 and KCC2 in schizophrenia.

CONTEXT Disturbances in markers of cortical γ-aminobutyric acid neurotransmission are a common finding in schizophrenia. The nature of γ-aminobutyric acid neurotransmission (hyperpolarizing or depolarizing) depends on the local intracellular chloride concentration. In the central nervous system, the intracellular chloride level is determined by the activity of 2 cation-chloride transporters, NK...
