Lorazepam binds to an allosteric site on GABA-A receptors, which are pentameric ionotropic receptors in the CNS. Binding potentiates the effects of the

by CB Falk-Petersen 2024 Cited by 13Brain GABAΑ receptors are ionotropic receptors belonging to the class of Cys-loop receptors and are important drug targets for the treatment

The best known ionotropic receptor is the nicotinic receptor, which has served as the prototypical model for ionotropic receptors (this has occasionally led to some significant setbacks because some receptors were found to have properties distinct from those of the nicotinic receptors). It is a heteromeric pentameric protein, and each subunit

Ionotropic Receptors. Ionotropic receptors are a group of transmembrane ion channels that open or close in response to the binding of a chemical messenger (ligand) such as a neurotransmitter.The binding site of endogenous ligands on LGICs protein complexes are normally located on a different portion of the protein (an allosteric binding site) than the location of the ion conduction pore.The
