Functional analysis and consequence of mutation Increased kinase activity, even in the absence of activators.20 Normal dendritic development21 Increased kinase activity within Purkinje cells. Inhibition of dendritic development20, 34 Not available Not available Increased kinase activity within Purkinje cells. Inhibition of dendritic development20, 21 Not available Patterns of kinase activity similar to those of the wild‐type enzyme20 Increased kinase activity compared to wild‐type33 Not available
