Abstract excerpt
Glycine receptors (GlyR) conduct inhibitory glycinergic neurotransmission in the spinal cord and the brainstem. They play an important role in muscle tone, motor coordination, respiration, and pain perception. However, the mechanism underlying GlyR activation remains unclear. There are five potential glycine binding sites in α1 GlyR, and different binding patterns may cause distinct activation or desensitization...
