Excitotoxic inactivation of constitutive oxidative stress detoxification pathway in neurons can be rescued by PKD1

Excitotoxicity due to excessive glutamate release causes oxidative stress and neuronal death, and is a feature of many brain diseases. Here the authors show that protein kinase D1 is inactivated by excitotoxicity in a model of stroke and that its activation can be neuroprotective.
