GLRA1 Antibody

1. Results support the notion that the efficacies of ligands for the alpha1 GlyR are determined by conformational changes that occur within and near the ligand-binding domain: disruption of the D97-R119 interaction may be an important element in receptor activation and that agonists may break this putative intersubunit bond in order to destabilize the initial shut state and facilitate transitions towards the open state.
