Stargazin modulates AMPA receptor antagonism

Neuropharmacology, 2008
AMPA receptors mediate the majority of fast synaptic transmission and underlie several forms of synaptic plasticity. AMPARs also have an important role in several neuronal pathologies. Therefore, studying the structure and function of these receptors is important for understanding general mechanisms of synaptic transmission as well as for the ...

Stargazin differentially modulates ampakine gating kinetics and pharmacology

Biochemical Pharmacology, 2018
It was previously reported that Stargazin (STG) enhances the surface expression of AMPA receptors, controls receptor gating and slows channel desensitization as an auxiliary subunit of the receptors. Ampakines are a class of AMPA receptor positive allosteric modulators that modify rates of transmitter binding, channel activity and desensitization ...

Stargazin involvement with bipolar disorder and response to lithium treatment

Pharmacogenetics and Genomics, 2008
Multiple reports have implicated chromosomal region 22q13.1 in both schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. The calcium channel gamma-2 subunit gene (cacng2, Stargazin) located on 22q13.1 was recently reported to be associated with schizophrenia. We aimed to examine the expression levels of Stargazin in post-mortem brain samples of patients with ...

Stargazin and the AMPA receptor

Science, 2016
Structural Biology AMPA-subtype ionotropic glutamate receptors (AMPARs) mediate fast excitatory neurotransmission and contribute to higher cognitive processes such as learning and memory. In the brain, AMPARs exist as protein-protein complexes with various auxiliary subunits that tightly control AMPAR trafficking, gating, and pharmacology.

Learning from stargazin: the mouse, the phenotype and the unexpected

Current Opinion in Neurobiology, 2006
The stargazin gene (also referred to as Cacng2) has been identified by forward genetics in a spontaneous mouse mutant with ataxic gait, upward head-elevating movements (hence the name stargazer for the mouse) and episodes of spike-wave discharges. Stargazin is related to the gamma-1 subunit of skeletal muscle voltage-dependent calcium channel (VDCC ...

Stargazin interacts functionally with the AMPA receptor glutamate-binding module

Neuropharmacology, 2007
Neuronal AMPA receptors comprise pore forming glutamate receptor (GluR) proteins and auxiliary transmembrane AMPA receptor regulatory (TARP) subunits. TARPs traffic AMPA receptors to synapses and regulate channel gating. Both intracellular and extracellular regions in TARPs regulate AMPA receptors; however, the details for these interactions remain ...
