Abstract excerpt

GABAA receptors are a heterogeneous group of heterooligomeric ligand-gated anion channels that represent the main means of synaptic inhibition in neuronal tissue. At least 14 distinct GABAA subunit proteins representing 5 different classes have been identified. Using rat brain cDNAs for the GABAA...
