Product Details
Promoter Details
CaMKIIa, pyramidal neuron/excitatory neuron promoter, 1293bp.
The mCaMKIIa promoter, cloned from the promoter region of mouse calmodulin-dependent protein kinase IIa, is 1.3kb in length and is specifically expressed in excitatory neuronal cells.
Functional Gene Details
hM4D(Gi): It is an artificial receptor modified from the human muscarinic acetylcholine receptor M4 that only responds to CNO and is no longer activated by acetylcholine. In some neurons, CNO binds to hM4D(Gi) and activates the Gi protein-coupled inward potassium channel GIRK, hyperpolarizing the cell membrane and inhibiting the firing of action potentials in neuronal cells. In cells that do not express GIRK or Gi, hM4D(Gi) functions differently.
