TABLE 3

Potency and relative efficacy of agonists at wild-type NR1/NR2B and mutant NR1/NR2B(S690A) Parameters measured from steady-state currents by two-electrode voltage-clamp recordings on X. laevis oocytes. Mean EC50 ± S.E.M., mean respective Hill coefficients (nH), and mean relative Imax ± S.E.M. are calculated as in Tables 1 and 2. The number in parentheses (N) denotes the number of oocytes.
