Cys-Loop ReceptorsDefinitionDefinitionMembers of the Cys-loop receptor class are ligand-gated ion channels that open in response to binding of ACh, 5-HT (serotonin), Glycine, GABA. Cys loop receptor channels form fromMarc D. BinderNobutaka HirokawaUwe Windhorst...
loop receptor highlighting three domains: ECD (yellow), TMD (green) and ICD (pink). (c) Side view of a single subunit showing the labels for four transmembrane helices, TM1–TM4. The EM structure of theTorpedo marmoratanAChR (PDB ID:2BG9) was used as the model Cys-loop receptor[4]....
Cys-Loop Receptors Chapter One – Proteostasis Maintenance of Cys-Loop ReceptorsChapter One – Proteostasis Maintenance of Cys-Loop ReceptorsThe Cys-loop receptors play prominent roles in the nervous system. They include 纬-aminobutyric acid type A receptors, nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, ...
Fast inhibitory neurotransmission is essential for nervous system function and is mediated by binding of inhibitory neurotransmitters to receptors of the Cys-loop family embedded in the membranes of neurons. Neurotransmitter binding triggers a conformati
Members of the cys-loop ligand-gated ion channel (cys-loop LGIC) superfamily mediate chemical neurotransmission and are studied extensively as potential targets of drugs used to treat neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's disease. Insect cys-loop LG

No transcriptome of the synganglion has been sequenced and no annotation of the cys-loop LGICs has been yet performed for this species, to our knowledge. To study the interactions between ion channels and pesticides, i.e. between the nicotinic receptors of ace- tylcholine (nAChRs) and ...

Tricyclic antidepressants not only inhibit monoamine reuptake but also modulate Cys-loop receptors. However, it is not understood how this modulation is involved in their therapeutic effects. We analyzed the mechanisms of inhibition of homomeric 5-HT 3A and α7-5HT 3A receptors by tricyclic antidepre...
Until recently, the binding site on its Cys-loop receptor target had been a mystery. Recent protein crystal structures, site-directed mutagenesis data and molecular modelling now explain how ivermectin binds to these receptors and reveal why it is selective for invertebrate members of the Cys-loop...
