KCC2 downregulation facilitates epileptic seizures [PDF]
GABAA receptor-mediated inhibition depends on the maintenance of low level intracellular [Cl−] concentration, which in adult depends on neuron specific K+-Cl− cotransporter-2 (KCC2).

Therapeutic potential for KCC2-targeted neurological diseases
Patients with neurological diseases, such as schizophrenia, tend to show low K+-Cl- co-transporter 2 (KCC2) levels in the brain. The cause of these diseases has been associated with stress and neuroinflammation.

KCC2 function modulates in vitro ictogenesis [PDF]
GABAA receptor-mediated inhibition is active and may contribute to epileptiform synchronization. The efficacy of inhibition relies on low levels of intracellular Cl−, which are controlled by KCC2 activity.

KCC2 interacts with the dendritic cytoskeleton to promote spine development. [PDF]
The neuron-specific K-Cl cotransporter, KCC2, induces a developmental shift to render GABAergic transmission from depolarizing to hyperpolarizing.

Phosphoregulation of KCC2 function [PDF]
The function of neuronal networks relies on a well-maintained balance between excitation and inhibition, disruption of which can have dramatic pathological impacts on brain function.

K+/Cl− cotransporter 2 (KCC2) is a major Cl− extruder in mature neurons and is responsible for the establishment of low intracellular [Cl−], necessary for fast hyperpolarizing GABAA-receptor mediated synaptic inhibition.

KCC2 is required for the survival of mature neurons but not for their development [PDF]
The K+/Cl- co-transporter KCC2 (SLC12A5) allows mature neurons in the CNS to maintain low intracellular Cl- levels that are critical in mediating fast hyperpolarizing synaptic inhibition via type A γ-aminobutyric acid receptors (GABAARs).

Native KCC2 interactome reveals PACSIN1 as a critical regulator of synaptic inhibition [PDF]
KCC2 is a neuron-specific K+-Cl– cotransporter essential for establishing the Cl- gradient required for hyperpolarizing inhibition in the central nervous system (CNS). KCC2 is highly localized to excitatory synapses where it regulates spine morphogenesis

Molecular architecture of potassium chloride co-transporter KCC2 [PDF]
KCC2 is a neuron specific K+-Cl− co-transporter that controls neuronal chloride homeostasis, and is critically involved in many neurological diseases including brain trauma, epilepsies, autism and schizophrenia.

M-Calpain Activation Facilitates Seizure Induced KCC2 Down Regulation [PDF]
Potassium chloride co-transporter 2 (KCC2), a major chloride transporter that maintains GABAA receptor inhibition in mature mammalian neurons, is down-regulated in the hippocampus during epileptogenesis.
