'''GABA''' (i.e. gamma-aminobutyric acid) is the primary inhibitory neurotransmitter of the vertebrate central nervous system. GABA can bind one of two different receptor proteins, each using a discrete mechanism to elicit a cellular response. Upon binding with GABA, '''GABAB receptors''' (metabotropic) utilize a second messenger amplification pathway that ultimately results in an inhibitory signal for neuronal transmission. This pathway for signal transmission differs from '''GABAA receptors''' (ionotropic), which are considered ligand-gated ion channels as the binding of GABA results in the opening of ion channels leading to the inhibition of a neuronal signal.

==Histamine receptors==
==Histamine receptors==
Allergy symptoms are mostly caused by the release of histamine in response to allergens. The binding of histamine to the extracellular portion of the H1 receptor triggers a structural change of the transmembrane portion, leading to a change in the C terminal area. This c terminal region interacts with G proteins, leading to the activation of the Gq signalling pathway, which triggers allergy symptoms like itchy eyes and runny noses. Many allergy drugs are anti-histamines, in that they bind to the histamine receptor but do not cause the conformational change that leads to a response. The H1 receptor is a histamine receptor belonging to the family of rhodopsin-like G-protein-coupled receptors. The H1 receptor is linked to an intracellular G-protein (G<sub>q</sub>) that activates [[phospholipase C]] (see [[PLC beta 3 Gq|Unique bidirectional interactions of Phospholipase C beta 3 with G alpha Q]] and the inositol triphosphate (IP3) signalling pathway. When a ligand binds to a G protein-coupled receptorthat is coupled to a G<sub>q</sub> heterotrimeric G protein, the α-subunit of G<sub>q</sub> can bind to and induce activity in the PLC isozyme PLC-β, which results in the cleavage of PIP2 into IP3 and DAG.

The ligand for NTSR1 is the 13 amino acid peptide, neurotensin (NTS)<ref name="SONT">PMID:23051748</ref>, and the majority of the effects of NTS are mediated through NTSR1<ref name="SONT"/>.

Like other G protein-coupled receptors, NTSR1 is composed of 3 distinct regions. An <scene name='72/727765/Overall_structure/5'>extracellular binding site</scene> where neurotensin binds and causes a conformational change of the protein. A region containing <scene name='73/733990/Overall/1'>7 transmembrane alpha helices</scene> (PDB code:[http://www.rcsb.org/pdb/explore/explore.do?structureId=4GRV 4GRV)] that transduce the signal from the extracellular side of the cell membrane to the intracellular side. Lastly, an intracellular region that when activated by a conformational change in the protein activates a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G_protein G-protein] associated with this receptor.
 
The <scene name='72/721547/Hydrophobic_binding_pocket/6'>hydrophobic binding pocket</scene> in NTSR1 is located at the top of the protein (Figure 1). NTSR1 also contains an '''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allosteric_regulation allosteric]''' <scene name='72/721548/Na_bind_pocket/13'>sodium binding pocket</scene>, which is located directly beneath the ligand binding pocket and the two pockets, which are separated by the residue <scene name='72/721548/Trp321/1'>Trp321</scene><ref name="SPGP">PMID:26205105</ref>.
