| Annotation description: | Using preembedding immunohistochemical methods combined with quantitative analysis of GABAB receptor subunit immunoreactivity, this study provides a detailed description of the cellular and subcellular localization of GABAB1a/b and GABAB2 in the rat hippocampus: 1) GABAB1a/b and GABAB2 are colocalized and likely to form heterodimerized functional GABAB receptors in hippocampal neurons. 2) Both subunits were observed on presynaptic and, more abundantly, on postsynaptic elements 3) Presynaptic GABAB receptor subunits are found to be localized to GABAergic and putative glutamatergic axon terminals. The subunits are detected at the extrasynaptic membrane but also at the presynaptic membrane specialization. 4) The majority of postsynaptic subunits were localized to the extrasynaptic membrane of dendritic spines and shafts of principal cells and interneurons. 10/11/2017 Pim - Based on the known transmembrane topology of the protein, the "integral component of ... membrane" term was chosen. |
