Target type: cellularcomponent
A protein complex which is capable of GABA receptor activity. Upon binding of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) it transmits the signal from one side of the membrane to the other to initiate a change in cell activity. Major inhibitory receptor in vertebrate brain. Also found in other vertebrate tissues, invertebrates and possibly in plants. Effective benzodiazepine receptor. [GO_REF:0000088, GOC:bhm, GOC:TermGenie, PMID:18790874]
The GABA receptor complex is a multi-protein assembly that mediates inhibitory neurotransmission in the central nervous system. It is composed of five subunits, each of which is a transmembrane protein. The subunits are arranged in a pentameric structure, with the transmembrane domains forming a central pore through which ions can flow. The GABA receptor complex is located in the plasma membrane of neurons. It is typically found at synapses, where it interacts with other proteins, such as scaffolding proteins and signaling molecules. The GABA receptor complex is responsible for the binding of GABA, which is the primary inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain. When GABA binds to the receptor complex, it causes the pore to open, allowing chloride ions to flow into the neuron. This influx of chloride ions hyperpolarizes the neuron, making it less likely to fire an action potential. The GABA receptor complex is also regulated by a variety of other factors, including phosphorylation, lipid modification, and protein-protein interactions. These factors can modulate the sensitivity of the receptor complex to GABA and other ligands.'
