title: [Binding of gamma-aminobutyric acid in the synaptic membranes of rat brain].
abstract: The Na+-dependent and Na+-independent (receptor) binding of [3H] GABA is measured in rat brain synaptic membranes. The receptor binding is presented by at least 3 types of binding sites differing in kinetic parameters (dissociation constants and maximal concentration of binding sites). Phenyl-GABA and pyracetam do not affect receptor binding while 4-hydroxybutyric acid, apamine and bicuculline inhibit it with inhibition constants K1=100, 2 and 1 micron, respectively. Solubilization of synaptic membranes with 2% potassium cholate in the presence of total brain phospholipids does not inactivate [3H] GABA receptor binding.
