Journal ArticleDOI

Gabab-receptor subtypes assemble into functional heteromeric complexes

TL;DR: A new GABAB receptor subtype is described, GABABR2, which does not bind available GABAB antagonists with measurable potency and exhibits a significant increase in agonist- and partial-agonist-binding potencies as compared with individual receptors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Expression cloning of GABA(B) receptors uncovers similarity to metabotropic glutamate receptors.

TL;DR: The cloning of GABAB receptors is reported and photoaffinity labelling experiments suggest that the cloned receptors correspond to two highly conserved GABAB receptor forms present in the vertebrate nervous system.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular Structure and Physiological Functions of GABAB Receptors

TL;DR: Current concepts on the molecular composition and function of GABA(B) receptors are reviewed and ongoing drug-discovery efforts are discussed, which are expected to broaden the spectrum of therapeutic applications.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cloning of a novel glutamate receptor subunit, GluR5 : expression in the nervous system during development

TL;DR: The GluR5 protein forms homomeric ion channels in Xenopus oocytes that are weakly responsive to L-glutamate and is detected in areas of neuronal differentiation and synapse formation during embryogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cloning of a cDNA for a glutamate receptor subunit activated by kainate but not AMPA.

TL;DR: The cloning and expression of a functional rat glutamate receptor subunit cDNA, GluR6, which has a very different pharmacology from that of the GluLl–GluR4 class and exhibits an outwardly rectifying current–voltage relationship.
