Abstract excerpt
Previous studies have shown that the effect of ethanol onglycine receptors (GlyRs) containing the a1 subunit is affected by interaction with heterotrimeric G proteins (Gβγ). GlyRs containing the α3 subunit are involved in inflammatory pain sensitization and rhythmic breathing and have received much recent attention. For example, it is unknown whether ethanol affects the function of this important GlyR subtype....
