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 ...

Investigating the Role of Loop C Hydrophilic Residue 'T244' in the Binding Site of ρ1 GABAC Receptors via Site Mutation and Partial Agonism. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 The loop C hydrophilic residue, threonine 244 lines the orthosteric binding site of ρ1 GABAC receptors was studied by point mutation into serine, alanine and cysteine, and tested with GABA, some representative partial agonists and antagonists. Thr244 has

Post-synaptic GABAA receptors potentiate transmission by recruiting CaV2 channels to their inputs
Cell Reports, 2023 Summary: We describe a retrograde synaptic signal at the C. elegans GABAergic neuromuscular junction. At this synapse, GABA release is controlled by two voltage-activated calcium channels (UNC-2/CaV2 and EGL-19/CaV1), and muscle responses are mediated by

Mechanisms of Action, Resistance and Toxicity of Insecticides Targeting GABA Receptors.
Current Medicinal Chemistry, 2017 BACKGROUND γ-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptors play a central role in fast inhibitory neurotransmission in insects. Several classes of insecticides targeting insect GABA-gated chloride channels have been developed.

Structural basis of the activation of a metabotropic GABA receptor
Nature, 2020 Metabotropic γ-aminobutyric acid receptors (GABA B ) are involved in the modulation of synaptic responses in the central nervous system and have been implicated in neuropsychological conditions that range from addiction to psychosis 1 . GABA B belongs to

Axonal Modulation of Striatal Dopamine Release by Local γ-Aminobutyric Acid (GABA) Signalling
Cells, 2021 Striatal dopamine (DA) release is critical for motivated actions and reinforcement learning, and is locally influenced at the level of DA axons by other striatal neurotransmitters. Here, we review a wealth of historical and more recently refined evidence

Allosteric modulation of retinal GABA receptors by ascorbic acid [PDF]
, 2011 Ionotropic GABA receptors (GABAA and GABAC) belong to the Cys-loop receptor family of ligand-gated ion channels. GABAC receptors are highly expressed in the retina, mainly localized at the axon terminals of bipolar cells.

Anaesthetic impairment of immune function is mediated via GABA(A) receptors.
PLoS ONE, 2011 BackgroundGABA(A) receptors are members of the Cys-loop family of neurotransmitter receptors, proteins which are responsible for fast synaptic transmission, and are the site of action of wide range of drugs.
