Distribution of GABA receptor ρ subunit transcripts in the rat brain

Abstract excerpt

The gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptor rho subunits recently cloned from rat and human retina are thought to form GABA receptor channels belonging to a pharmacologically distinct receptor class, termed GABA(C). In this work we have examined the distribution of rho1, rho2 and rho3 subunits, and found expression of all three transcripts in several regions of the rat nervous system. In situ hybridization...
