Beta-alanine induced ion channels in the membrane of cultured spinal cord neurons.

Abstract:

:beta-Alanine (beta-ALa) is a structural analog of the putative inhibitory transmitters gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and glycine. beta-ALa itself depresses firing in cultured mouse spinal cord (SC) neurons, by selectively increasing membrane conductance to chloride ions. Patch clamp recordings now reveal that beta-ALa-sensitive chloride channels in SC cells can open to at least 5 conductance states, 4 of which are very similar to states seen when GABA or glycine is applied to these cells. However, a large, 80 pS conductance state is activated at detectable frequency only in the presence of beta-ALa itself.
