GIRK Channel Loss of Function Increases Dendritic Excitability in a Mouse Model of GNB1 Encephalopathy
GNB1 encephalopathy (GNB1-E) is a rare neurodevelopmental disorder associated with motor dysfunction, epilepsy and learning disability caused by mutations in the gene encoding the G protein subunit G{beta}1. Previous work has shown that altered G{beta}1 can disrupt activation of G-protein-coupled inwardly rectifying potassium (GIRK) channels, dysregulate neuronal excitability and cause seizures.…
