Functional Characterization of Native, High-Affinity GABAA Receptors in Human Pancreatic β Cells

In human pancreatic islets, the neurotransmitter γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is an extracellular signaling molecule synthesized by and released from the insulin-secreting β cells. The effective, physiological GABA concentration range within human islets is unknown. Here we use native GABAA receptors...
