2-arachidonyl glycerol (2-AG) allosterically potentiates GABA(A) receptors via a binding site located in transmembrane segment M4 of the β₂ subunit. Two amino acid residues have been described that are essential for this effect. With the aim to further describe this potential drug target, we perf...
