Summary

This study reveals the presence and function of the GABAergic system in rat trigeminal ganglia (TG). GABA is expressed in neurons and satellite cells, modulating neuronal activity through GABA(A) receptors.

G-Protein Gated Ion Channels

GPCRs are primarily responsible for our sense of smell, taste, and vision.  The binding of a sensory stimulus activates GPCR to stimulate effector proteins, many of which are ion channels in the sensory organs. GPCRs modulate the opening and closing of the target ion channels either directly by binding them, or by releasing second messengers that activate these channels. As ions move across the membrane, the membrane potential is altered, which induces an appropriate response.
