In vitro interaction of the glycine receptor with the leptin receptor
Physiology & Behavior, 2002The coordination and regulation of electrical signals across excitable cells is a complex, dynamic phenomenon requiring, in part, the interaction of ion channels with cellular constituents. The intracellular loops or domains of many ion channel subunits have been shown to specifically bind other cellular components that act in receptor targeting ...

Glycinergic and GABAergic inhibition are juxtaposed at one retinal synaptic layer yet likely perform different functions. These functions have usually been evaluated using receptor antagonists. In examining retinal glycine receptors, we were surprised to find that commonly used concentrations of GABA antagonists blocked significant fractions of the ...

Glycine Receptor Drug Discovery
2017Postsynaptic glycine receptor (GlyR) chloride channels mediate inhibitory neurotransmission in the spinal cord and brain stem, although presynaptic and extrasynaptic GlyRs are expressed more widely throughout the brain. In humans, GlyRs are assembled as homo- or heteromeric pentamers of α1-3 and β subunits. GlyR malfunctions have been linked to a range

Insulin Increases the Potency of Glycine at Ionotropic Glycine Receptors
Molecular Pharmacology, 2007The mechanisms by which insulin modulates neuronal plasticity and pain processes remain poorly understood. Here we report that insulin rapidly increases the function of glycine receptors in murine spinal neurons and recombinant human glycine receptors expressed in human embryonic kidney cells.

Gathering Glycine Receptors at Synapses
Science, 1998Neurons send their signals to the next neuron by shooting neurotransmitters across the intracellular gulf to a cluster of receptors on the downstream neuron. As discussed by Froehner in his Perspective, these receptors are held in place by so-called scaffolding proteins on the inside of the cell. A new example of such proteins is reported on page [1321]

Hijacking of GABAA Receptors by Mutant Glycine Receptors
Trends in Molecular Medicine, 2019Startle disease results from mutations in genes encoding inhibitory GlyR α1 and β subunits or the presynaptic glycine transporter GlyT2. However, the most effective therapies are benzodiazepines that potentiate inhibitory GABAAR function. A recent publication by Zou et al.
