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 an ? subunit to form the GABA binding site that initiates GABA-induced action potentials and forms the benzodiazepine binding site with the ? subunit. Phosphorylation of the ?2 subunit by PKC inhibits binding of the ?2 subunit with the clathrin adaptor protein AP2 and reduces GABAA receptor endocytosis.{55097} SNPs in GABRB2, which encodes the ?2 subunit isoform, have been found in patients with schizophrenia.{55096} Cayman’s GABAA Receptor ?2 Polyclonal Antibody can be used for Western blot (WB) applications. The antibody recognizes the GABAA receptor ?2 subunit at approximately 55 kDa from mouse and rat samples.
