On the benzodiazepine binding pocket in GABAA receptors.

The Journal of biological chemistry - 30 Jan 2004

Abstract excerpt

Benzodiazepines are used for their sedative/hypnotic, anxiolytic, muscle relaxant, and anticonvulsive effects. They exert their actions through a specific high affinity binding site on the major inhibitory neurotransmitter receptor, the gamma-aminobutyric acid, type A (GABA(A)) receptor channel,...
