  • Methods to identify compounds that affect the expression level of the syntaxin-1 A encoding gene
    Patent number: 6531288
    Abstract: A specific amino acid sequence proximal to the carboxy terminus of P/Q type ion channels has been shown to mediate, through binding to the Homer protein, the expression of the gene encoding syntaxin-1A. This region of the P/Q type calcium ion channel provides peptides that can be used in screening assays for compounds that modulate the central nervous system.
