Locating GABA in GABA receptor binding sites

Biochemical Society Transactions, 2009
The Cys-loop family of ligand-gated ion channels contains both vertebrate and invertebrate members that are activated by GABA (γ-aminobutyric acid). Many of the residues that are critical for ligand binding have been identified in vertebrate GABAA and GABAC receptors, and specific interactions between GABA and some of these residues have been ...

GABA and GABA receptors in invertebrates

Seminars in Neuroscience, 1991
Abstract GABA is the major inhibitory transmitter at invertebrate synapses in both the central and peripheral nervous systems. The receptors for GABA are well characterised electrophysiologically in a wide variety of invertebrate organisms but their biochemical and pharmacological profiles are less well defined. In general invertebrate GABA receptors

GABA-receptors in peripheral tissues

Life Sciences, 1990
Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and its receptors are found in a wide range of peripheral tissues, including parts of the peripheral nervous system, endocrines, and non-neural tissues such as smooth muscle and the female reproductive system. In all these, both GABAA- and GABAB-receptor types are found, with good evidence for a physiological role in the ...

GABA-B Receptors in Drosophila

2010
Drosophila melanogaster, the "fruit fly," is being increasingly used as an experimental model in neurosciences, including neuropharmacology. The advantages of Drosophila over typical mammalian models in neuropharmacology include better access to genetic manipulation and the availability of almost unlimited numbers of experimental subjects at relatively

GABA Receptor molecules of insects

1993
Receptors for 4-aminobutyric acid (GABA) have been identified in both central and peripheral nervous systems of several invertebrate phyla. To date, much of the information derived from physiological and biochemical studies on insect GABA receptors relates to GABA-gated chloride channels that show some similarities with vertebrate GABAA receptors. Like

The Neurobiology of Gaba Receptors

2006
Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) was first identified in 1950 (Roberts 1950; Awapara 1950) in brain extracts of various animal species and was subsequently found to be the principal inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system (CNS). GABA is synthesized as a result of decarboxylation of glutamic acid and is released by neurons into the ...
