| Annotation description: | Presynaptic localisation of Glycine alpha 3 subunit, based on reduced facilitation by forskolin of mIPSC-frequency in GLRA3 KO mice. 8/9/2017 Pim - Important to note here is that the basal glycinergic transmission (amplitude) in not negatively affected in KO animals. There are even larger mIPSC-amplitude in Glra3 -/- mice at P15-21. This shows that the GLRA3 is not present in the postsynapse mediating the postsynaptic currents. In contrast, forscolin is shown affect IPSC freq (increased SV release) via GLRA3. - Based on the known transmembrane topology of the protein, the "integral component of ... membrane" term was chosen |
