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 exclude the stoichiometries 3 alpha 1 beta 1 gamma, 1 alpha 3 beta 1 gamma, 1 alpha 1 beta 3 gamma and suggest that the...
