Zinc interactions with allosteric modulators at the glycine receptor

The glycine receptor (GlyR) is a ligand-gated ion channel member of the Cys-loop receptor superfamily, responsible for inhibitory neurotransmission in the brain and spinal cord. Zinc is a potent allosteric modulator of GlyR function, enhancing GlyR activity at low nM to 10[mu]M concentrations while...
