  • Human NMDA R2A receptor subunit and isoforms of the human NMDA-R1 receptor subunit and encoding cDNAs
    Patent number: 6130058
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a stably co-transfected eukaryotic cell line that expresses an N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor, particularly a human NMDA receptor, which receptor comprises at least one R1 subunit isoform, or at least one R1 subunit isoform and one or two R2 subunits. Additionally, the cell line can be used to design and develop NMDA receptor subtype-selective compounds. The invention also relates to cloning of novel cDNA sequences encoding the human NMDAR 2A subunit and various isoforms of the human NMDA R1 subunit.
