Subunit composition | Percentage of α6 receptors | Percentage of GABAA receptors |
---|---|---|
α1α6βxγ2 | 37 ± 3 | 16.7 |
α6βxγ2 | 32 ± 3 | 14.4 |
α1α6βxδ | 15 ± 3 | 6.8 |
α6βxδ | 14 ± 2 | 6.3 |
Data presented are calculated from three experiments performed as shown in Fig. 3 and from three experiments performed as shown in Fig. 4and are means ± SD. Percentage of GABAA receptors was calculated from these data by taking into account that only 45 ± 1% of all GABAA receptors in cerebellum contain the α6 subunit.
