The potassium-chloride cotransporter KCC2 is a key regulator of chloride homeostasis in neurons of the central nervous system (CNS) and it is critical for the development of fast hyperpolarizing synaptic inhibition. Two full-length isoforms of KCC2, KCC2a and KCC2b, differing by their amino termini have been described. Both isoforms have similar expression levels in neonatal mice, but KCC2b is strongly upregulated in cortical areas during postnatal development, resulting in a developmental shift of GABAergic responses. In contrast to the well-studied KCC2b isoform, the importance of the KCC2a isoform has not yet been demonstrated. My thesis work focuses on characterizing the transcriptional regulation, expression and function of the KCC2 is...
