Properties of GABA receptors. GABA (g-aminobutyric acid) is the main inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system. The inhibitory action of GABA is mediated by the receptors present on the cell membrane, and results in a reduction of neuronal excitablity.At least three types of GABA receptors have been characterized.ABA (g-aminobutyric acid) is the main inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system. The inhibitory action of GABA is mediated by the receptors present on the cell membrane, and results in a reduction of neuronal excitablity. At least three types of GABA receptors have been characterized.
Another synergistic action of GABA is manifested by the activation of GABA (B) receptors localized on postsynaptic sites. Binding of GABA to these receptors leads to the activation of G-protein activated Inward Rectifier K + (GIRK or K ir 3) channel 6, hyperpolarization and postsynaptic inhibition 1.n the postsynaptic membrane, GABA (B) receptors activate K + channels and induce slow inhibitory postsynaptic potentials that inhibit GABA (A) receptor activity. Receptors on extrasynaptic membranes are probably activated by a GABA overflow from nearby synapses.Adapted from reference 5 with permission of Elsevier.
