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: ?1-6, ?1-4, ?1-3, ?, ?, ?, ?, and ?1-3, arranged around a central pore. Phasic inhibitory synaptic transmission is regulated by ?1?2?2 subunit-containing GABAA receptors, the major isoform found in the brain.{46950,46951} The ? subunit of GABAA receptors interfaces with a ? subunit to form the GABA binding site that initiates GABA-induced action potentials and forms the benzodiazepine binding site with the ? subunit. Activation of GABAA receptors with the ?2/?3-selective GABAA receptor agonist SL651498, but not the ?5/?3 selective GABAA receptor positive allosteric modulator NS 11394 (Item No. 23872), suppresses cortical spreading depression, the underlying cause of migraine, in isolated chick retina.{55214} Point mutation of the histidine residue at position 101 (H101R) of the GABAA ?2 subunit inhibits muscle relaxation and the anxiolytic-like effects of the benzodiazepine diazepam in mice.{46949} Expression of GABRA2, which encodes the ?2 subunit isoform, is upregulated in ipsilateral, but not contralateral, perilesional tissue in a rat model of cortical ischemia-reperfusion injury.{55094} Cayman’s GABAA Receptor ?2 Subunit Polyclonal Antibody can be used for immunocytochemistry (ICC) and Western blot (WB) applications. The antibody recognizes the GABAA receptor ?2 subunit at approximately 51 kDa from murine samples.
