Association of gephyrin and glycine receptors in the human brainstem and spinal cord: an immunohistochemical analysis.

Abstract:

:Gephyrin is a postsynaptic clustering molecule that forms a protein scaffold to anchor inhibitory neurotransmitter receptors at the postsynaptic membrane of neurons. Gephyrin was first identified as a protein component of the glycine receptor complex and is also colocalized with several GABAA receptor subunits in rodent brain. We have studied the distribution of gephyrin and glycine receptor subunits in the human brainstem and spinal cord using immunohistochemistry at light and confocal laser scanning microscopy levels. This study demonstrates the novel localization of gephyrin with glycine receptors in the human brainstem and spinal cord. Colocalization of immunoreactivities for gephyrin and glycine receptor subunits was detected in the dorsal and ventral horns of the spinal cord, the hypoglossal nucleus and the medial vestibular nucleus of the medulla. The results clearly establish that gephyrin is ubiquitously distributed and is colocalized, with a large proportion of glycine receptor subunits in the human brainstem and spinal cord. We therefore suggest that gephyrin functions as a clustering molecule for major subtypes of glycine receptors in the human CNS.
