The ionotropic GABA A receptor protein complex is also the molecular target of the benzodiazepine class of tranquilizer drugs. Benzodiazepines do not bind to the same receptor site on the protein complex as does the endogenous ligand GABA (whose binding site is located between α- and β-subunits), but bind to distinct benzodiazepine binding sites situated at the interface between the α- and ...
The GABA receptors are a class of receptors that respond to the neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), ...
In pharmacology, GABA A receptor positive allosteric modulators, also known as GABAkines or GABA A receptor potentiators, [1] are positive allosteric modulator (PAM) molecules that increase the activity of the GABA A receptor protein in the vertebrate central nervous system. GABA is a major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system.
Gamma-aminobutyric acid, a GABA-B receptor agonist. A GABA receptor agonist is a drug that is an agonist for one or more of the GABA receptors, producing typically sedative effects, and may also cause other effects such as anxiolytic, anticonvulsant, and muscle relaxant effects. [1] There are three receptors of the gamma-aminobutyric acid. The ...
The GABA A-rho receptor (previously known as the GABA C receptor) is a subclass of GABA A receptors composed entirely of rho (ρ) subunits. GABA A receptors including those of the ρ-subclass are ligand-gated ion channels responsible for mediating the effects of gamma-amino butyric acid (), the major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain.

GABA is the major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the mammalian brain where it acts at GABA A receptors, which are ligand-gated chloride channels. Chloride conductance of these channels can be modulated by agents such as benzodiazepines that bind to the GABA A receptor. At least 16 distinct subunits of GABA A receptors have been
Earlier a third type of GABA receptor was discovered and named GABA C, but recently it has been categorized as a sub-type of the GABA A receptor. [3] Thus, the iontropic GABA receptors consist of the GABA A receptor and the GABA A-ρ receptor. There are pharmacological implications in understanding the molecular structure and function of these ...
