International Union of Pharmacology. XXXIII. Mammalian γ-aminobutyric acidB receptors: structure and function

NG Bowery, B Bettler, W Froestl, JP Gallagher… - Pharmacological …, 2002 - ASPET
The γ-aminobutyric acid B (GABA B ) receptor was first demonstrated on presynaptic terminals
where it serves as an autoreceptor and also as a heteroreceptor to influence transmitter …

Cognitive enhancers (nootropics). Part 1: drugs interacting with receptors

W Froestl, A Muhs, A Pfeifer - Journal of Alzheimer's disease, 2012 - content.iospress.com
… Since a first review in 1989 on “Families of Cognition Enhancers” by Froestl and Maıtre [5],
substantial progress has been made in the understanding of the mechanism(s) of cognitive …

GABAB-receptor subtypes assemble into functional heteromeric complexes

…, B Malitschek, V Schuler, J Heid, W Froestl… - Nature, 1998 - nature.com
B-type receptors for the neurotransmitter GABA (γ-aminobutyric acid) inhibit neuronal activity
through G-protein-coupled second-messenger systems, which regulate the release of …

Expression cloning of GABAB receptors uncovers similarity to metabotropic glutamate receptors

…, SJ Mickel, G McMaster, C Angst, H Bittiger, W Froestl… - Nature, 1997 - nature.com
GABA (γ-amino-butyric acid), the principal inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain, signals
through ionotropic (GABA A /GABA C ) and metabotropic (GABA B ) receptor systems. Here we …

[HTML][HTML] Epilepsy, hyperalgesia, impaired memory, and loss of pre-and postsynaptic GABAB responses in mice lacking GABAB (1)

…, M Pozza, PH Kelly, J Mosbacher, W Froestl… - Neuron, 2001 - cell.com
GABA B (γ-aminobutyric acid type B) receptors are important for keeping neuronal excitability
under control. Cloned GABA B receptors do not show the expected pharmacological …

[HTML][HTML] Genetic and pharmacological evidence of a role for GABAB receptors in the modulation of anxiety-and antidepressant-like behavior

C Mombereau, K Kaupmann, W Froestl… - …, 2004 - nature.com

C-terminal interaction is essential for surface trafficking but not for heteromeric assembly of GABAB receptors

…, L Prezeau, J Blahos, JP Pin, W Froestl… - Journal of …, 2001 - Soc Neuroscience
Assembly of fully functional GABA B receptors requires heteromerization of the GABA B(1)
and GABA B(2) subunits. It is thought that GABA B(1) and GABA B(2) undergo coiled-coil …
