The pharmacological properties of homo-oligomeric channels formed by the GABA type A receptor-like ρl and ρ2 polypeptides are very reminiscent of those of the GABA type C receptors that have been extensively characterized in the retina. Similar recep...

Opioid receptors from a lower vertebrate (Catostomus commersoni): Sequence, pharmacology, coupling to a G-protein-gated inward-rectifying potassium channel (GIRK1), and evolution (1997)
Journal Article
Darlison, M. G., Greten, F. R., Harvey, R. J., Kreienkamp, H., Stühmer, T., Zwiers, H., …Richter, D. (1997). Opioid receptors from a lower vertebrate (Catostomus commersoni): Sequence, pharmacology, coupling to a G-protein-gated inward-rectifying potassium channel (GIRK1), and evolution. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 94(15), 8214-8219

The molecular evolution of the opioid receptor family has been studied by isolating cDNAs that encode six distinct opioid receptor-like proteins from a lower vertebrate, the teleost fish Catostomus commersoni. One of these, which has been obtained in...

Differential patterns of expression of two novel invertebrate (Lymnaea stagnalis) ionotropic glutamate receptor genes (1997)
Journal Article
Harvey, R. J., Stühmer, T., van Minnen, J., & Darlison, M. G. (1997). Differential patterns of expression of two novel invertebrate (Lymnaea stagnalis) ionotropic glutamate receptor genes. Neuroscience Research Communications, 20(1), 31-40. https://doi.org/10.1002/%28SICI%291520-6769%28199701%2920%3A13.0.CO%3B2-6

We report the isolation of molluscan (Lymnaea stagnalis) partial complementary DNAs (cDNAs) that encode two new putative glutamate-gated cation-channel polypeptides. These proteins, which we have named Lym-eGluR4 and Lym-eGluR5, exhibit 56% identity...
