Abstract excerpt
General anesthetics allosterically modulate the activity of neuronal gamma-aminobutyric acid, type A (GABAA), receptors. Previous mutational studies from our laboratory and others have shown that the regions in transmembrane domain 1 (M1) and pre-M1 of alpha and beta subunits in GABA receptors are essential for positive modulation of GABA binding and function by the intravenous (IV) general anesthetics. Mutation...
