== Function ==
[[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/GBRG2_RAT GBRG2_RAT]] GABA, the major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the vertebrate brain, mediates neuronal inhibition by binding to the GABA/benzodiazepine receptor and opening an integral chloride channel. [[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/GBRB1_RAT GBRB1_RAT]] Component of the heteropentameric receptor for GABA, the major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the vertebrate brain. Functions also as histamine receptor and mediates cellular responses to histamine. Functions as receptor for diazepines and various anesthetics, such as pentobarbital; these are bound at a separate allosteric effector binding site. Functions as ligand-gated chloride channel.<ref>PMID:18281286</ref> <ref>PMID:1977069</ref>  [[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/GBRA1_RAT GBRA1_RAT]] Component of the heteropentameric receptor for GABA, the major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the vertebrate brain.

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
Fast inhibitory neurotransmission in mammalian nervous system is largely mediated by GABAA receptors, chloride-selective members of the superfamily of pentameric Cys-loop receptors. Native GABAA receptors are heteromeric assemblies sensitive to many important drugs, from sedatives to anesthetics and anticonvulsant agents, with mutant forms of GABAA receptors implicated in multiple neurological diseases. Despite profound importance of heteromeric GABAA receptors in neuroscience and medicine, they have proven recalcitrant to structure determination. Here we present the structure of tri-heteromeric alpha1beta1gamma2SEM GABAA receptor in complex with GABA, determined by single particle cryo-EM at 3.1-3.8 A resolution, elucidating molecular principles of receptor assembly and agonist binding. Remarkable N-linked glycosylation on the alpha1 subunit occludes the extracellular vestibule of the ion channel and is poised to modulate receptor assembly and perhaps ion channel gating. Our work provides a pathway to structural studies of heteromeric GABAA receptors and a framework for rational design of novel therapeutic agents.
