A Gut Feeling about GABA: Focus on GABAB receptors

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2010
Gamma-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) is the main inhibitory neurotransmitter in the body and hence GABA-mediated neurotransmission regulates many physiological functions, including those in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract.

Two Amino Acid Residues Contribute to a Cation-π Binding Interaction in the Binding Site of an Insect GABA Receptor [PDF]

, 2011
Cys-loop receptor binding sites characteristically possess an "aromatic box," where several aromatic amino acid residues surround the bound ligand. A cation-π interaction between one of these residues and the natural agonist is common, although the ...

Azabicyclo[1.1.0]butyl‐Substituted Sulfonimidoyl Fluoride: Electrophilic Hub Bridging Late‐Stage Azetidine Incorporation with Sufex Chemistry

Advanced Synthesis &Catalysis, EarlyView.
GA: Strained small motifs and SuFEx hubs are of increasing importance in drug discovery to enable efficient late‐stage functionalization. Here, the synthesis of bench‐stable azabicyclo[1.1.0]butyl‐substituted sulfonimidoyl fluoride as an electrophilic hub with dual activation mode is reported.

Determining the Location of GABA Receptor mRNA Transcripts in \u3cem\u3eDanio rerio\u3c/em\u3e [PDF]

, 2018
-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is a neurotransmitter that has been shown to be present in the inner ear. GABA binds to two classes of GABA receptors (GABARs): GABAARs are pentameric ion channels (isoforms include: 1-6, β 1-3, 1-3, 1-3, , , and ); GABABRs ...

Inhibition of activity of GABA transporter GAT1 by δ-opioid receptor [PDF]

, 2012
Analgesia is a well-documented effect of acupuncture. A critical role in pain sensation plays the nervous system, including the GABAergic system and opioid receptor (OR) activation.

The DEC2‐SCN2A Axis is Essential for the Anticonvulsant Effects of Cannabidiol by Modulating Neuronal Plasticity

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study identifies DEC2 as a critical transcriptional repressor of Scn2a that directly binds E‐box motifs in its promoter to regulate neuronal plasticity and epileptogenesis. Functional manipulation of DEC2 alters seizure susceptibility in vivo. Cannabidiol enhances this repression, unveiling a novel DEC2‐SCN2A axis underlying its anticonvulsant ...

Heterointerface‐Modulated Synthetic Synapses Exhibiting Complex Multiscale Plasticity

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An asymmetric dual‐gate heterointerface‐regulated artificial synapse (HRAS) is developed, employing distinct ion concentrations and dielectric coupling to form precise dual‐interface channels. Through lateral modulation, HRAS realizes, for the first time, the intricate interplay of lateral inhibition/enhancement and multi‐level short‐ and long‐term ...

Extrasynaptic and postsynaptic receptors in glycinergic and GABAergic neurotransmission: a division of labor?

Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2008
Glycine and GABA mediate inhibitory neurotransmission in the spinal cord and central nervous system. The general concept of neurotransmission is now challenged by the contribution of both phasic activation of postsynaptic glycine and GABAA receptors ...

Ligilactobacillus Murinus and Lactobacillus Johnsonii Suppress Macrophage Pyroptosis in Atherosclerosis through Butyrate‐GPR109A‐GSDMD Axis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Oral aspirin administration induces intestinal expansion of Lactobacillus murinus and Lactobacillus johnsonii, which suppresses the progression of atherosclerosis. This microbial expansion significantly enhances butyrate production by providing lactate as a metabolic substrate, thereby fostering the growth of butyrate‐producing bacteria. Butyrate plays
