| Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is the primary inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system, causing a hyperpolarization of the membrane through the opening of a Cl_ channel associated with the GABA-A receptor (GABA-A-R) subtype. GABA-A-Rs are important therapeutic targets for a range of sedative, anxiolytic, and hypnotic agents and are implicated in several diseases including epilepsy, anxiety, depression, and substance abuse. The GABA-A-R is a multimeric subunit complex. To date six _s, four _s and four _s, plus alternative splicing variants of some of these subunits, have been identified (Olsen and Tobin, 1990; Whiting et al., 1999; Ogris et al., 2004). Injection in oocytes or mammalian cell lines of cRNA coding for _- and _-subunits results in the expression of functional GABA-A-Rs sensitive to GABA. However, coexpression of a _-subunit is required for benzodiazepine modulation. The various effects of the benzodiazepines in brain may also be mediated via different _-subunits of the receptor (McKernan et al., 2000; Mehta and Ticku, 1998; Ogris et al., 2004; Pltl et al., 2003). Lastly, phosphorylation of _-subunits of the receptor has been shown to modulate GABAA-R function (Brandon et al., 2003). |
