Journal Article
Darlison, M. G., Bailey, M., Johnson, K., Wang, Z., Crowe, R., Albrecht, B., …Zoega, T. (1997). Candidate gene study of eight GABAA receptor subunits in panic disorder. American Journal of Psychiatry, 154(8), 1096-1100. https://doi.org/10.1176/ajp.154.8.1096

OBJECTIVE: gamma-Aminobutyric acid type A (GABAA) receptor subunit genes are candidate genes for panic disorder. Benzodiazepine agonists acting at this receptor can suppress panic attacks, and both inverse agonists and antagonists can precipitate th...

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...

In Situ Hybridization Localization of the GABAA Receptor ?2S- and ?2L-Subunit Transcripts Reveals Cell-Specific Splicing of Alternate Cassette Exons (1997)
Journal Article

We have recently described two variants of the chicken {GABAA} receptor ?2 subunit which arise by alternative splicing of the corresponding primary gene transcript. The long form of the ?2 subunit (?2L) differs from the short form (?2S) by the insert...
