Potentiation of gamma aminobutyric acid receptors (GABAAR) by Ethanol: How are inhibitory receptors affected?
In recent years there has been an increase in the understanding of ethanol actions on the type A -aminobutyric acid chloride channel (GABAAR), a member of the pentameric ligand gated ion channels (pLGICs). However, the mechanism by which ethanol potentiates the complex is still not fully understood...
