MeSH definition : Cell-surface proteins that bind GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID with high affinity and trigger
changes that influence the behavior of cells. GABA-A receptors control chloride channels
formed by the receptor complex itself. They are blocked by bicuculline and usually
have modulatory sites sensitive to benzodiazepines and barbiturates. GABA-B receptors
act through G-proteins on several effector systems, are insensitive to bicuculline,
and have a high affinity for L-baclofen.;
