Abstract

The ρ₂ receptor for γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) induces GABA-gated currents when expressed as a homooligomer in Xenopus oocytes. ρ₂ responses display pharmacological profiles similar to those of expressed ρ₁ receptors, although responses were slower, most agonists were more potent at ρ₂ and I_m values for the partial agonist imidazole-4-acetic acid were 7-fold higher. Amino acids important for most aspects of GABA agonist ligand recognition may not be among those that differ between ρ₁ and ρ₂, including the 20% amino acid difference in the N-terminal region.
