SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION

plasma membrane

basic FUNCTION	inhibiting neuronal activity through G-protein coupled second-messenger systems, which regulate the release of neurotransmitters and the activity of ion channels and adenylyl cyclase
	GABBR1, GABBR2 play an important role in modulating synapses and maintaining the balance of excitation-inhibition in the brain
	GABBR1, GABBR2 play important functions in regulating synaptic plasticity
	playing an important role in the etiology of nicotine addiction
	GABBR1 is responsible for ligand-binding and GABBR2 is responsible for G protein coupling
	GABBR1, GABBR2 are neurotransmitter receptors that modulate synaptic transmission by mediating the slow and prolonged responses to GABA
	GABBR1, GABBR2 are expressed in human aortic smooth muscle cells and regulate the intracellular Ca(2+) concentration

CELLULAR PROCESS

a component

heterodimer with subunits of GABA(B1) and GABA(B2) in the human colon

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule

protein	coupling to adenyl cyclase
	heteromeric association between CHRM2 and GABBR2 provides a possible mechanism for altering muscarinic signaling in the brain and represents a previously unrecognized role for GABBR2
	physical and functional interaction between CACNA1D and GABBR2, suggesting the potential pivotal roles of CACNA1D in the CNS
	post-transcriptional regulation of GABBR1, GABBR2 and KCNJ3 channels by RTN4R
