Type I and Type II GABA A -Benzodiazepine Receptors Produced in Transfected Cells

Abstract

GABA A (γ-aminobutyric acid A)-benzodiazepine receptors expressed in mammalian cells and assembled from one of three different α subunit variants (α 1 , α 2 , or α 3 ) in combination with a β 1 and a γ 2 subunit display the pharmacological properties of either type I or type II receptor subtypes. These receptors contain high-affinity binding sites for benzodiazepines. However, CL 218 872, 2-oxoquazepam, and methyl β-carboline-3-carboxylate (β-CCM) show a temperature-modulated selectivity for α 1 subunit-containing receptors. There were no significant differences in the binding of clonazepam, diazepam, Ro 15-1788, or dimethoxy-4-ethyl-β-carboline-3-carboxylate (DMCM) to all three recombinant receptors. Receptors containing the α 3 subunit show greater GABA potentiation of benzodiazepine binding than receptors containing the α 1 or α 2 subunit, indicating that there are subtypes within the type II class. Thus, diversity in benzodiazepine pharmacology is generated by heterogeneity of the α subunit of the GABA A receptor.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
