extracellular domain (ECD) of Cys-loop neurotransmitter-gated ion channels (also known as ligand-gated ion channel (LGIC)); This superfamily contains the extracellular domain (ECD) of Cys-loop neurotransmitter-gated ion channels, which include nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR), serotonin 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor (5-HT3), type-A gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor (GABAAR) and glycine receptor (GlyR). These ligand-gated ion channels (LGICs) are found across metazoans and have close homologs in bacteria. They are vital for communication throughout the nervous system. GABAAR and GlyR are anionic channels, both mediating fast inhibitory synaptic transmission. Cl- ions are selectively conducted through the GABAAR receptor pore, resulting in hyperpolarization of the neuron. nAChR is a non-selective cation channel that is permeable to Na+ and K+, and some subunit combinations are also permeable to Ca2+. Na+ enters and K+ exits to allow net flow of positively charged ions inward. 5-HT3, a cation-selective channel, binds serotonin and is permeable to Na+, K+, and Ca2+. It mediates neuronal depolarization and excitation within the central and peripheral nervous systems. These ligand-gated chloride channels are critical not only for maintaining appropriate neuronal activity, but have long been important therapeutic targets: benzodiazepines, barbiturates, some intravenous and volatile anaesthetics, alcohol, strychnine, picrotoxin, and ivermectin all derive their biological activity from acting on the inhibitory half of the Cys-loop receptor family. The ECD contains the ligand binding sites for these receptors.

Cation transporter family protein; The Ligand-gated Ion Channel (LIC) Family of Neurotransmitter Receptors TC 1.A.9)Members of the LIC family of ionotropic neurotransmitter receptors are found only in vertebrate and invertebrate animals. They exhibit receptor specificity for (1)acetylcholine, (2) serotonin, (3) glycine, (4) glutamate and (5) g-aminobutyric acid (GABA). All of these receptor channels are probably hetero- orhomopentameric. The best characterized are the nicotinic acetyl-choline receptors which are pentameric channels of a2bgd subunit composition. All subunits arehomologous. The three dimensional structures of the protein complex in both the open and closed configurations have been solved at 0.9 nm resolution.The channel protein complexes of the LIC family preferentially transport cations or anions depending on the channel (e.g., the acetylcholine receptors are cationselective while glycine receptors are anion selective).

53-69 | 2.51e-04 | ||
extracellular domain of gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor subunit alpha-2 (GABAAR-A2 or GABRA2); This family contains extracellular domain of gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor subunit alpha-2 (GABAAR-A2), a protein that is encoded by the GABRA2 gene in humans. GABAAR is an anionic channel, mediating fast inhibitory synaptic transmission. Upon gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) binding to the ligand binding site on the ECD, Cl- ions are selectively conducted through the GABAAR pore, resulting in hyperpolarization of the neuron. GABAAR is the principal mediator of rapid inhibitory synaptic transmission in the human brain. A decline in GABAAR signaling triggers hyperactive neurological disorders such as insomnia, anxiety, and epilepsy. The alpha-2 subunit forms heteropentamers with other GABAAR subunits, most broadly expressed as combination of alpha2beta3gamma2. The alpha-2 (GABRA2) subunit is found primarily in the forebrain and hippocampus, and is more confined to areas of the brain compared to other alpha subunits. GABRA2 increases the risk of anxiety, making it a target for treating behavioral disorders including alcohol dependence, and drug use. GABRA2 is a binding site for benzodiazepines (psychoactive drugs known to reduce anxiety), causing chloride channels to open, leading to the hyper-polarization of the membrane. Other anxiolytic drugs such as Diazepam bind this subunit to induce inhibitory effects. GABRA2 is associated with reward behavior when it activates the insula, the part of the cerebral cortex responsible for emotions. GABA alpha2 and/or alpha3 receptor subtypes are also involved in GABAergic modulation of prolactin secretion. Pssm-ID: 349836 [Multi-domain] Cd Length: 203 Bit Score: 37.71 E-value: 2.51e-04

extracellular domain of gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor subunit alpha-5 (GABAAR-A5 or GABRA5); This family contains extracellular domain of gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor subunit alpha-5 (GABAAR-A5), a protein that is encoded by the GABRA5 gene in humans, with biased expression in the brain and heart. GABAAR is an anionic channel, mediating fast inhibitory synaptic transmission. Upon gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) binding to the ligand binding site on the ECD, Cl- ions are selectively conducted through the GABAAR pore, resulting in hyperpolarization of the neuron. GABAAR is the principal mediator of rapid inhibitory synaptic transmission in the human brain. A decline in GABAAR signaling triggers hyperactive neurological disorders such as insomnia, anxiety, and epilepsy. The alpha-5 subunit forms heteropentamers with other GABAAR subunits, most broadly expressed as alpha5-beta-gamma2, and probably alpha5-beta3-gamma2, predominantly expressed in the hippocampus and localized extrasynaptically. These receptors have been demonstrated to play an important modulatory role in learning and memory processes, thus making them suitable targets for pharmacological intervention. Studies show that alpha5-containing GABAARs play an important part in tonic inhibition in hippocampal pyramidal neurons, and that these can also contribute to synaptic inhibition. Studies strongly suggest that amnesia is primarily mediated by alpha5-beta-gamma2. Polymorphisms in GABRA5 (and GABRA3) are linked to the susceptibility to panic disorder. A genetic association also exists between GABRA5 and bipolar affective disorder. Pssm-ID: 349839 Cd Length: 199 Bit Score: 35.41 E-value: 1.61e-03

extracellular domain of gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor subunit alpha-3 (GABAAR-A3 or GABRA3); This family contains extracellular domain of gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor subunit alpha-3 (GABAAR-A3), a protein that is encoded by the GABRA3 gene in humans. GABAAR is an anionic channel, mediating fast inhibitory synaptic transmission. Upon gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) binding to the ligand binding site on the ECD, Cl- ions are selectively conducted through the GABAAR pore, resulting in hyperpolarization of the neuron. GABAAR is the principal mediator of rapid inhibitory synaptic transmission in the human brain. A decline in GABAAR signaling triggers hyperactive neurological disorders such as insomnia, anxiety, and epilepsy. The alpha-3 subunit forms heteropentamers with other GABAAR subunits, most broadly expressed as combination of alpha3betagamma2, typically found post-synaptically. Rare loss-of-function variants in GABRA3 have been shown to increase the risk for a varying combination of epilepsy, intellectual disability/developmental delay, and dysmorphic features. GABRA3, normally exclusively expressed in adult brain, is also expressed in breast cancer, with high expression being inversely correlated with breast cancer survival. It activates the AKT pathway to promote breast cancer cell migration, invasion, and metastasis. GABRA3 promotes lymphatic metastasis in lung adenocarcinoma by mediating upregulation of matrix metalloproteinases, MMP-2 and MMP-9, through activation of the JNK/AP-1 signaling pathway. GABRA3 is overexpressed in human hepatocellular carcinoma growth and, with GABA, promotes the proliferation of cancer cells. Pssm-ID: 349837 Cd Length: 200 Bit Score: 35.00 E-value: 2.38e-03

extracellular domain of gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor subunit alpha-4 (GABAAR-A4 or GABRA4); This family contains extracellular domain of gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor subunit alpha-4 (GABAAR-A4), a protein that is encoded by the GABRA4 gene in humans, with biased expression in the brain and heart. GABAAR is an anionic channel, mediating fast inhibitory synaptic transmission.

A decline in GABAAR signaling triggers hyperactive neurological disorders such as insomnia, anxiety, and epilepsy. The alpha-4 subunit forms heteropentamers with other GABAAR subunits, most broadly expressed as combination of alpha2alpha4beta1gamma1, all four subunits existing on the same gene cluster. Alpha-4 is involved in the etiology of autism and eventually increases autism risk through interaction with the beta-1 (GABRB1) subunit. Polymorphism in GABRA4 may trigger migraine by ethanol, while another is associated to faster reaction times and with lower ethanol effects. A rare variant in GABRA4 may have modest physiological effect in autism spectrum disorder etiology. Pssm-ID: 349838 Cd Length: 199 Bit Score: 33.50 E-value: 8.45e-03
