Description

GABAA receptors are ligand-gated chloride channels that mediate the effects of the inhibitory neurotransmitter GABA in the CNS.{46949,46950} They are postsynaptic heteropentameric receptors that contain protein subunits from the following isoforms: α1-6, β1-4, γ1-3, δ, ε, π, θ, and ρ1-3, arranged around a central pore. Phasic inhibitory synaptic transmission is regulated by α1β2γ2 subunit-containing GABAA receptors, the major isoform found in the brain.{46950,46951} The β subunit of GABAA receptors interfaces with an α subunit to form the GABA binding site that initiates GABA-induced action potentials and forms the benzodiazepine binding site with the γ subunit. Phosphorylation of the β2 subunit by PKC inhibits binding of the β2 subunit with the clathrin adaptor protein AP2 and reduces GABAA receptor endocytosis.{55097} SNPs in GABRB2, which encodes the β2 subunit isoform, have been found in patients with schizophrenia.{55096} Cayman’s GABAA Receptor β2 Polyclonal Antibody can be used for Western blot (WB) applications. The antibody recognizes the GABAA receptor β2 subunit at approximately 55 kDa from mouse and rat samples.
