摘要: γ-Aminobutyric acidA (GABAA) receptors were purified from adult rat cerebella by anti-α6(1-16 Cys) antibody affinity chromatography. Immunoblots of the α6 subunit-containing showed copurification α1, β2/3, γ2, δ but not α2 and α3 GABAA receptor polypeptides. Further fractionation this subpopulation anti-GABAA subunit α6(1-16 anti-α1(413-429) columns in series substantiated coassociation α1 The percentage coexistence two subunits was determined quantitative immunoblotting, which found that 41 ± 12% immunoreactivity is associated with subunit. ratios α1:α6 double preparations to be 1:1, thus determining directly for first time within native receptors. benzodiazepine pharmacology α1α6 shown predominantly benzodiazepine-insensitive immunoprecipitation assays. These results are direct studies a population
