    FAMILY
  • G-protein coupled receptor 3 family
  • GABA-B receptor subfamily
  • CATEGORY receptor
    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
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling
    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
