The relationship between glycine receptor agonist efficacy and allosteric modulation

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. Both glycine and the partial agonist taurine act as endogenous ligands of the GlyR. Taurine-activated GlyR may have a role...
