A novel open channel blocker of GABA-A receptors [PDF]

, 2014
GABA-A receptors are chloride ion channels composed of five subunits, mediating fast synaptic and tonic inhibition in the mammalian brain. 19 different subunit isoforms have been identified, with the major receptor type in mammalian adult brain ...

GABA potency at GABAA receptors found in synaptic and extrasynaptic zones

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2012
The potency of GABA is vitally important for its primary role in activating GABAA receptors and acting as an inhibitory neurotransmitter. Although numerous laboratories have presented information, directly or indirectly, on GABA potency, it is often ...

Identification of serine 867 as new phosphorylation site on the GABA(B) receptor : characterization of physiological effects [PDF]

, 2011
The GABAB receptor is the metabotropic receptor for γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA), the main inhibitory neurotransmitter in the mammalian central nervous system (CNS). The functional receptor is a heteromer consisting of a GABAB1 and GABAB2 subunit.

Intermittent Hypoxia Interferes with Autocrine Effects of GABA on Insulin Secretion in Postnatal Rodents—Implications for Pediatric Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Children, 2022
Gamma-amino butyric acid (GABA) is well known to help elevate pancreatic β cell vitality and insulin levels in blood. GABA works via a coupling with GABA receptors; thus, the concentration of GABAA receptors on the plasma membrane of β cells appears to ...

Molecular pharmacology of an insect GABA receptor

, 2010
Cys-loop receptors are ligand-gated ion channels that are involved in fast synaptic neurotransmission in the central and peripheral nervous system. The Cys-loop receptor RDL (‘resistant to dieldrin’) is a GABA-gated chloride channel from Drosophila ...

Understanding the function of the GABAergic system and its potential role in rheumatoid arthritis

Frontiers in Immunology, 2023
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a highly disabling chronic autoimmune disease. Multiple factors contribute to the complex pathological process of RA, in which an abnormal autoimmune response, high survival of inflammatory cells, and excessive release of ...

New GABA amides activating GABA_A-receptors [PDF]

Beilstein Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2013
We have prepared a series of new and some literature-reported GABA-amides and determined their effect on the activation of GABAA-receptors expressed in CHO cells. Special attention was paid to the purification of the target compounds to remove even traces of GABA contaminations, which may arise from deprotection steps in the synthesis. GABA-amides were

Somatic mutational landscape in von Hippel–Lindau familial hemangioblastoma

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
The causes of central nervous system (CNS) hemangioblastoma in Von Hippel–Lindau (vHL) disease are unclear. We used Whole Exome Sequencing (WES) on familial hemangioblastoma to investigate events that underlie tumor development. Our findings suggest that VHL loss creates a permissive environment for tumor formation, while additional alterations ...

Involvement of γ-Aminobutyric acid and N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors in diabetic gastropathy in rats: possible beneficial effect of prolonged treatment with insulin and magnesium supplement [PDF]

Archives of Razi Institute
Gastrointestinal dysfunction is a severe and common complication in diabetic patients. Some evidence shows that gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and glutamate contribute to diabetic gastrointestinal abnormalities. Hence, we examined the impact of prolonged
