Abstract excerpt

Ligand-gated ion channels generally display a heterooligomeric subunit structure. The present report describes an electrophysiological method that provides criteria indicating the subunit stoichiometry of a recombinant GABAA receptor composed of alpha 3, beta 2 and gamma 2 subunits. Our results e...
