Abstract:
An isolated nucleic acid molecule comprising a sequence of nucleotides that encode a human N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor subunit selected from the group consisting of:(a) a sequence of nucleotides as set forth in SEQ ID NO:55; (b) a sequence of nucleotides comprising nucleotides 210-4664 as set forth in SEQ ID NO:55; (c) a sequence of nucleotides varying from the nucleotide sequence specified in (a) or (b) as a result of degeneracy of the genetic code; (d) a sequence of nucleotides that encode a human N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor type 2B subunit (NMDAR2B) and which hybridizes under conditions of high stringency along its full length to the complement of the NMDAR2B encoding portion of SEQ ID NO:55 and; (e) a sequence of nucleotides that encode a human N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor type 2B subunit (NMDAR2B) having an amino acid sequence as set forth in SEQ ID NO:56.
