Abstract excerpt
The rho 1 GABA receptor is inhibited by a number of neuroactive steroids. A previous study (J Pharmacol Exp Ther 323:236-247, 2007) focusing on the electrophysiological effects of inhibitory steroids on the rho 1 receptor found that steroid inhibitors could be divided into three major groups based on how mutations to residues in the M2 transmembrane domain modified inhibition. It was proposed that the steroids...
