Structural determinants of the pharmacological properties of the GABAA receptor alpha6 subunit.

The Journal of pharmacology and experimental therapeutics - 1 Jun 2004

Drafts Brandon C, Fisher Janet L

Abstract excerpt

GABA(A) receptors are responsible for fast inhibitory neurotransmission in the mammalian brain and are the targets for many clinical drugs that act as antiepileptics, anxiolytics, and sedatives. The pharmacological characteristics of the receptor are largely determined by its subunit composition. Compared with all other alpha subtypes, the alpha6 subtype confers unique pharmacological properties. In particular,...
