Sentences with phrase «of ankyrin»

There are also many other differences in the number or coding sequences of ankyrin repeat genes between wMel strain genomes and wAu [21], [49](see also [15] and [48] for sequence of wMelCS).

To see what was happening in the brains of these ankyrin - G mutant mice, the researchers analyzed the cell components in inhibitory synapses connecting with pyramidal neurons, finding that two proteins known as GAT1 and GAD67 — responsible for making the neurochemical GABA that dials back nerve impulses — were at much lower levels in the synapses on pyramidal neurons in ankyrin - G mutant mice than in normal mice.

In collaboration with Dr. Ke Xu's lab at UC Berkeley, the team determined that this is because of aberrant accumulation and distribution of Ankyrin - G in the AIS.

In baseline tests, the high - energy ankyrin - G mice usually swam longer, only floating for about 10 seconds of the 200 second test compared to the normal mice that floated about 50 seconds, but after several sessions with the bully mice, the ankyrin - G mice were quick to give up and float, remaining still for well over 100 seconds on average.
