Abstract excerpt
The gamma-aminobutyrate B (GABA(B)) receptor is the first discovered G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) that needs two subunits, GB1 and GB2, to form a functional receptor. The GB1 extracellular domain (ECD) binds GABA, and GB2 contains enough molecular determinants for G-protein activation. The precise role of the two subunits in G-protein coupling is investigated. GB1 and GB2 are structurally related to the...
