GABAB receptors (GABABR) are metabotropic transmembrane receptors for gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) that are linked via G-proteins to potassium channels.[1] The changing potassium concentrations hyperpolarize the cell at the end of an action potential. The reversal potential of the GABAB-mediated IPSP is -100 mV, which is much more hyperpolarized than the GABAA IPSP. GABAB receptors are found in the central as well as in the autonomic division of the peripheral nervous system.
Functions
They can stimulate the opening of K+ channels which brings the neuron closer to the equilibrium potential of K+, hyperpolarising the neuron. This prevents voltage-gated sodium channels from opening, action potentials from firing, and VDCCs from opening, and so stops neurotransmitter release. Thus GABAB receptors are considered inhibitory receptors.
GABAB receptors can also reduce the activity of adenylyl cyclase and decrease the cell’s conductance to Ca2+.
GABAB receptors are involved in behavioral actions of ethanol,[2] gamma-Hydroxybutyric acid (GHB),[3] and possibly in pain.[4] Recent research suggests that these receptors may play an important developmental role.[5]
Structure
GABAB Receptors are similar in structure to and in the same receptor family with metabotropic glutamate receptors.[6] There are two subtypes of the receptor, GABAB1 and GABAB2,[7] and these appear to assemble as heterodimers in neuronal membranes by linking up by their intracellular C termini.[6]
It is speculated that binding of GABA causes the subunits to swing shut around the agonist like a venus fly trap.

- Baclofen is a GABA analogue which acts as a selective agonist of GABAB receptors, and is used as a muscle relaxant. However, it can aggravate absence seizures, and so is not used in epilepsy.
