Schematic Representation of GABAB Receptor

Representation of the GABAB receptor heterodimer which is composed of two, seven transmembrane-spanning units that are linked by their carboxyl-termini. The apparent ligand binding domains are on the extracellular surface of R1 and R2. Activation of the heterodimer modulates adenyl cyclase activity via G-proteins that, in addition, influence K+ and Ca2+ conductance.
