Progesterone Withdrawal Reduces Paired-Pulse Inhibition in Rat Hippocampus: Dependence on GABAA Receptor 4 Subunit Upregulation
Hsu, Fu-Chun and Sheryl S. Smith. Progesterone withdrawal reduces paired-pulse inhibition in rat hippocampus: dependence on GABAA receptor 4 subunit upregulation. J Neurophysiol 89: 186–198, 2003; 10.1152/jn.00195.2002. Withdrawal from the endogenous steroid progesterone (P) after chronic administration increases anxiety and seizure susceptibility via declining levels of its potent GABA-modulat...
متن کاملEffects of gamma2S subunit incorporation on GABAA receptor macroscopic kinetics.
GABA(A) receptors, the major inhibitory neurotransmitter receptors in the mammalian central nervous system, are heteropentameric proteins. We are interested in understanding the contribution of the gamma subunit to the kinetic properties of GABA(A) receptors. Studies in Xenopus oocytes have suggested that co-expression of alpha1, beta2, and gamma 2S subunits results in the formation of both alp...
متن کاملImpact of subunit positioning on GABAA receptor function.
The major isoforms of the GABAA (gamma-aminobutyric acid type A) receptor are composed of two alpha, two beta and one gamma subunit. Thus alpha and beta subunits occur twice in the receptor pentamer. As it is well documented that different isoforms of alpha and beta subunits can co-exist in the same pentamer, the question is raised whether the relative position of a subunit isoform affects the ...
متن کاملIntracellular chloride concentration influences the GABAA receptor subunit composition
GABA(A) receptors (GABA(A)Rs) exist as different subtype variants showing unique functional properties and defined spatio-temporal expression pattern. The molecular mechanisms underlying the developmental expression of different GABA(A)R are largely unknown. The intracellular concentration of chloride ([Cl(-)](i)), the main ion permeating through GABA(A)Rs, also undergoes considerable changes d...
متن کاملSynaptic GABAA receptor clustering without the γ2 subunit.
Rapid activation of postsynaptic GABAA receptors (GABAARs) is crucial in many neuronal functions, including the synchronization of neuronal ensembles and controlling the precise timing of action potentials. Although the γ2 subunit is believed to be essential for the postsynaptic clustering of GABAARs, synaptic currents have been detected in neurons obtained from γ2(-/-) mice. To determine the r...
