GABAB receptors (GABABR) are metabotropic transmembrane receptors for gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) that are linked via G-proteins to potassium channels.[1] The changing potassium concentrations hyperpolarize the cell at the end of an action potential. The reversal potential of the GABAB-mediated IPSP is -100 mV, which is much more hyperpolarized than the GABAA IPSP. GABAB receptors are found in the central as well as in the autonomic division of the peripheral nervous system.[citation needed]

The receptors were first named in 1981 when their distribution in the CNS was determined, which was determined by Norman Bowery and his team using radioactively labelled baclofen.[2]

Functions

They can stimulate the opening of K+ channels which brings the neuron closer to the equilibrium potential of K+, hyperpolarising the neuron. This prevents voltage-gated sodium channels from opening, action potentials from firing, and VDCCs from opening, and so stops neurotransmitter release.[citation needed] Thus GABAB receptors are considered inhibitory receptors.[by whom?]

GABAB receptors can also reduce the activity of adenylyl cyclase and decrease the cell’s conductance to Ca2+.[citation needed]

GABAB receptors are involved in behavioral actions of ethanol,[3] gamma-Hydroxybutyric acid (GHB),[4] and possibly in pain.[5] Recent research suggests that these receptors may play an important developmental role.[6]

Structure

GABAB Receptors are similar in structure to and in the same receptor family with metabotropic glutamate receptors.[7] There are two subtypes of the receptor, GABAB1 and GABAB2,[8] and these appear to assemble as heterodimers in neuronal membranes by linking up by their intracellular C termini.[7]

It is speculated that binding of GABA causes the subunits to swing shut around the agonist like a venus fly trap.[citation needed]
