Descriptor receptores de GABA
Entry term(s) receptores del ácido gamma-aminobutírico
Scope note: Proteínas de la superficie celular que poseen alta afinidad para unirse al GABA y que desencadenan cambios que influyen en el comportamiento de las células. Los receptores de GABA-A controlan los canales de cloro formados por el propio complejo del receptor. Estos se bloquean por la bicuculina y usualmente tienen sitios moduladores sensibles a las benzodiazepinas y los barbituratos. Los receptores de GABA-B actúan a través de las proteínas G sobre varios sistemas efectores, son insensibles a la bicuculina, y tienen alta afinidad por el L-baclofeno.

Scope note: Cell-surface proteins that bind GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID with high affinity and trigger changes that influence the behavior of cells. GABA-A receptors control chloride channels formed by the receptor complex itself. They are blocked by bicuculline and usually have modulatory sites sensitive to benzodiazepines and barbiturates. GABA-B receptors act through G-proteins on several effector systems, are insensitive to bicuculline, and have a high affinity for L-baclofen.
