a(CHEBI:"kynurenic acid") decreases act(p(MGI:Chrna7, loc(MESH:Interneurons)))

PubMed:19126755

Mice with a null mutation in the gene that encodes KAT II became a unique tool to resolve this issue (31, 410, 516). Low levels of KYNA in these mutant mice lead to alpha7 nAChR disinhibition in hippocampal CA1 SR interneurons, thereby increasing the activity of GABAergic interneurons impinging onto CA1 pyramidal neurons (31)
