A new GABAB receptor subtype is described, GABABR2, which does not bind available GABAB antagonists with measurable potency and exhibits a significant increase in agonist- and partial-agonist-binding potencies as compared with individual receptors.

The cloning of GABA(B) receptors is reported and photoaffinity labelling experiments suggest that the cloned receptors correspond to two highly conserved GABA( B) receptor forms present in the vertebrate nervous system.

The emergence of high-affinity antagonists for GABAB receptors has enabled a synaptic role to be established, however, the antagonists have generally failed to establish the existence of pharmacologically distinct receptor types within the GABAB receptor class.
Positive allosteric modulation of native and recombinant gamma-aminobutyric acid(B) receptors by 2,6-Di-tert-butyl-4-(3-hydroxy-2,2-dimethyl-propyl)-phenol (CGP7930) and its aldehyde analog CGP13501.

It is shown that CGP7930 enhances the inhibitory effect of L-baclofen on the oscillatory activity of cultured cortical neurons and may represent a novel means of therapeutic interference with the GABA-ergic system.

The gamma-aminobutyric acid(B) (GABA(B)) receptor was first demonstrated on presynaptic terminals where it serves as an autoreceptor and also as a heteroreceptor to influence transmitter release by…
Human gamma-aminobutyric acid type B receptors are differentially expressed and regulate inwardly rectifying K+ channels.

The cloning and functional characterization of two human GABABRs are reported, and it is demonstrated that in transfected mammalian cells hR 1a and hR1b can modulate heteromeric Kir3.1/3.2 and Kir 3.4 channels, which supports the notion that Kir3 channels are the postsynaptic effectors of GABA BRs.

A three-dimensional model of the LBP-like domain of the GABAB receptor was constructed based on the known structure of LBP and proposes that the initial step in the activation of the receptor by agonist results from the closure of the two lobes of the binding domain.
