GABAB (B1b/B2) Human GABAB GPCR Binding Antagonist Radioligand LeadHunter Assay - TW

Background Information:

GABA is the major inhibitory transmitter in the mammallian central nervous system. GABAB receptors belong to the superfamily of G protein-coupled seven transmembrane proteins. G-protein-coupled receptors constitute one of the major signal transduction systems in eukaryotic cells. Coding sequences for these receptors, in those regions believed to contribute to the agonist-antagonist binding site, are strongly conserved across mammalian species. GABAB receptors are located on pre- and postsynaptic neurones in the central nervous system and peripheral autonomic nerve fibers and sensory fibers. GABAB receptor agonism is useful in the treatment of spasticity and may be anxiolytic, anticonvulsant, antihyperalgesic, cause sedation and impair motor function. Receptor antagonism may cause convulsions.
