Synaptic inhibition mediated by γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is known to involve opening of receptor-gated chloride channels1–3. Recent evidence indicates that these channels also show a significant permeability to the physiologically important bicarbonate anion4. In all the excitable cells studied to date, the intracellular pH (pHi) is higher than would be predicted from a passive distribution of H+ ions5–9, and consequently there is an outwardly directed electrochemical driving force for HCO3… CONTINUE READING
