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