Genetic implication of GABAB receptors in the etiology of neurological and psychiatric disorders by Martin Gassmann, Michal Stawarski, Stylianos E. Antonarakis, Stylianos E. Antonarakis, Bernhard Bettler

“…Functional characterization of such variants in recombinant assay systems has revealed both gain-of-function (GOF) and loss-of-function (LOF) mutations, which can now be interpreted in the context of high-resolution structural models of GBR activation. Moreover, proteomic studies have revealed that GBRs form macromolecular complexes with a diverse array of auxiliary proteins that modulate their trafficking, localization, signaling kinetics, and ion channel coupling. …”
