epitope corresponding to amino acids 328-497 mapping at the C-terminus of GlyR β of human origin
Modification Notes
In the central nervous system (CNS), glycine-mediated inhibitory neurotransmission is essential to voluntary motor control and reflex responses. Glycine binds to glycine receptors (GlyR) in the postsynaptic neuronal membranes. GlyR, ?-aminobutryic acid, serotonin and acetylcholine comprise an evolutionally conserved superfamily of ligand-gated ion channels. The pentameric subunit structure of GlyR consists of two types of glycosylated membrane proteins, ?1 through ?4 and ?, and an associated peripheral membrane protein, which combine to form a chloride-selective ion channel. In humans, the composition of the pentamer changes from ?2 subunits in the fetal CNS to ?1 and ? subunits in the adult CNS. Fast potentiation of GlyR by intracellular Ca2+ in the brainstem and midbrain indicate an important role for Ca2+ in modulation of glycinergic synapses. The genes encoding human GlyR ?1, ?2, ?3 and ? subunits map to chromosomes 5q32, Xp22, 4q33 and 4q31, respectively.
