GABA A (γ-aminobutyric acid-type A) receptors are members of the cysteine-loop family of neurotransmitter-gated ion channels.
GABA binding to A-type receptors induces anion-selective ion channel opening.
These receptors are the principal fast inhibitory neurotransmitter receptors in the CNS.
GABA A receptors are heteropentamer combinations of seven subunit types; aplha, beta, γ, δ, ε, θ, and π.
Three subunits, aplha, beta, and γ, have at least three separate gene products in mammals, and typical GABA A receptors have some combination of alpha, beta, and γ subunits.
The rat alpha 1 isoform is a 50-52kD, 428aa, 4 transmembrane protein with two terminal extracellular regions.
The ligand-binding region is in the N-terminus aa15-222.
As with many receptors, phosphorylation is used as a regulatory mechanism.
CaM kinase II is known to phosphorylate the aplha 1 subunit and regulate benzodiazepine binding.
Alpha 1 subunits are particularly abundant in the cerebellum and may contribute to GABA receptor distribution.
In the hippocampus and amygdala, the alpha 1 subunit may contribute to amnesia.
