Natural Product Isoliquiritigenin Activates GABAB Receptors to Decrease Voltage-Gate Ca(2+) Channels and Glutamate Release in Rat Cerebrocortical Nerve Terminals.
Title: Natural Product Isoliquiritigenin Activates GABA(B) Receptors to Decrease Voltage-Gate Ca(2+) Channels and Glutamate Release in Rat Cerebrocortical Nerve Terminals.
Study provided evidence that GABAB2 subunit is involved in anxiety-like behaviours induced by chronic cerebral hypoperfusion. Activation of GABAB2 subunits could improve BDNF/TrkB/NCAM signalling and reverse Kir3 channel surface expressions in hippocampal CA1, which may alleviate the anxiety-like behaviours in rats with chronic cerebral hypoperfusion.

this study shows that the trafficking and surface expression of GABABR2 and GABABR1 is differentially regulated by synaptic or pathophysiological activation of NMDA receptors.

GABA(B)R2 proteins are reduced in the prefrontal cortex of aged rats but these reductions are not associated with spatial learning abilities.

Regional distribution of GABABR2 in auditory neurons matches their inputs; the cellular localization of GABABR2 in auditory neurons fits the synaptic responses in these cells.

Adult stem cells from rat adipose tissue or bone marrow were found to express GABA-B2 receptor subunits. GABA-B receptors in differentiated adipose tissue stem cells are functionally active, regulating a key process such as proliferation.
Title: Schwann-like adult stem cells derived from bone marrow and adipose tissue express γ-aminobutyric acid type B receptors.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
