Electrophysiology of ionotropic GABA receptors [PDF]
Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences, 2021 AbstractGABAA receptors are ligand-gated chloride channels and ionotropic receptors of GABA, the main inhibitory neurotransmitter in vertebrates. In this review, we discuss the major and diverse roles GABAA receptors play in the regulation of neuronal communication and the functioning of the brain.

Characterization of GABA Receptors [PDF]
Current Protocols in Pharmacology, 1998 AbstractDescribed in this unit are ligand‐binding assays for GABAA, GABAB, and the homomeric ρ GABAA(formerly GABAC) receptor recognition sites in brain tissue. Although GABA binding sites are present in peripheral organs, most research is directed toward examining these receptors in the CNS.

Life, 2023 Motoneurons receive thousands of excitatory and inhibitory synapses from descending tracts and primary afferent fibers. The excitability of these neurons must be precisely regulated to respond adequately to the requirements of the environment.

Evidence for a GABAergic system in rodent and human testis: Local GABA production and GABA receptors [PDF]
, 2003 The major neurotransmitter of the central nervous system, gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), exerts its actions through GABA(A), GABA(B) and GABA(C) receptors.

BMC Research Notes, 2012 Background GABA receptors are well known as the inhibitory receptors in the central nervous system and are also found in peripheral tissues. We have previously shown that GABA receptors are involved in lung development and fluid homeostasis. However, the

Current Perspective on the Location and Function of Gamma- Aminobutyric Acid (GABA) and its Metabolic Partners in the Kidney. [PDF]
, 2014 Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is an inhibitory neurotransmitter located in the mammalian central nervous system, which binds to GABAA and GABAB receptors to mediate its neurological effects.

Endoplasmic reticulum sorting and kinesin-1 command the targeting of axonal GABAB receptors. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 In neuronal cells the intracellular trafficking machinery controls the availability of neurotransmitter receptors at the plasma membrane, which is a critical determinant of synaptic strength.

Neuroglia, 2023 Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is known as the main inhibitory transmitter in the central nervous system (CNS), where it hyperpolarizes mature neurons through activation of GABAA receptors, pentameric complexes assembled by combination of subunits (α1–6,

Robust photoregulation of GABA(A) receptors by allosteric modulation with a propofol analogue. [PDF]
, 2012 Photochemical switches represent a powerful method for improving pharmacological therapies and controlling cellular physiology. Here we report the photoregulation of GABA(A) receptors (GABA(A)Rs) by a derivative of propofol (2,6-diisopropylphenol), a ...
