GABRB2 Protein, Human, Recombinant (His) is expressed in E. coli expression system with N-6xHis tag. The predicted molecular weight is 29.3 kDa and the accession number is P47870.

GABA, the major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the vertebrate brain, mediates neuronal inhibition by binding to the GABA/benzodiazepine receptor and opening an integral chloride channel. In the uterus, the function of the receptor appears to be related to tissue contractility. The binding of this pI subunit with other GABA(A) receptor subunits alters the sensitivity of recombinant receptors to modulatory agents such as pregnanolone. GABRP Protein, Human, Recombinant (His) is expressed in E. coli expression system with N-6xHis tag. The predicted molecular weight is 28.9 kDa and the accession number is O00591.

GABRA1 Protein, Human, Recombinant (His) is expressed in E. coli expression system with N-6xHis tag. The predicted molecular weight is 29.9 kDa and the accession number is P14867.

The role of hypothalamic growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) in the release of growth hormone (GH) from the pituitary is well established. Extra-hypothalamic growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) plays an important role in infertility. Growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH) has recently been shown to increase the level of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and activate GABA receptors (GABARs) in the cerebral cortex. GABA is an inhibitory neurotransmitter that can inhibit seizures. GHRH may play an important role in inhibiting seizures by activating GABAARs. GHRH is produced by tumor cells, acts in an autocrine/paracrine manner, and requires the presence of GHRH receptor (GHRH-R) on the tumor cells to exert its effects. GHRH activity can be effectively blocked by synthetic antagonists of its receptor and hence, the expression of GHRH-R by tumor cells could serve as a predictor of response to GHRH-R antagonist therapy. The neurovascular protective effect of GHRH analogs during the early stage of diabetic retinopathy through their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. GHRH antagonists can be a therapeutic option for thyroid cancer patients.

The diazepam binding inhibitor (DBI), alternatively known as the acyl-CoA binding protein (ACBP), is involved in multiple biological actions. The polypeptide binds to the peripheral, or mitochondrial, benzodiazepine receptor and facilitates transport of cholesterol to the inner membrane to stimulate steroid synthesis. Through this action, DBI indirectly modulates gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-mediated inhibitory neurotransmission. DBI can be postulated as a candidate gene for psychiatric phenotypes including anxiety, mood, and psychotic disorders. Diazepam Binding Inhibitor (DBI), also called acyl-CoA binding protein (ACBP), is a ubiquitously expressed protein originally identified based on its ability to displace diazepam from its binding site on the GABAA receptor. The mutant allele of the DBI was one of the risk factors for alcohol dependence as for the rs2276596 polymorphism.
