An N-terminal deletion variant of HCN1 in the epileptic WAG/Rij strain modulates HCN current densities

An N-terminal deletion variant of HCN1 in the epileptic WAG/Rij strain modulates HCN current densities

Rats of the Wistar Albino Glaxo/Rij (WAG/Rij) strain show symptoms resembling human absence epilepsy. Thalamocortical neurons of WAG/Rij rats are characterized by an increased HCN1 expression, a negative shift in Ih activation curve, and an altered responsiveness of Ih to cAMP. We cloned HCN1 channe...
