Difference between Alcohol (drug) and GABAA receptor

Alcohol (drug) vs. GABAA receptor

Alcohol, also known by its chemical name ethanol, is a psychoactive substance or drug that is the active ingredient in alcoholic beverages such as beer, wine, and distilled spirits (hard liquor). The GABAA receptor (GABAAR) is an ionotropic receptor and ligand-gated ion channel.

Similarities between Alcohol (drug) and GABAA receptor

Alcohol (drug) and GABAA receptor have 33 things in common (in Unionpedia): Allosteric modulator, Allosteric regulation, Amnesia, Anesthetic, Anxiety, Anxiolytic, Barbiturate, Benzodiazepine, Cancer, Central nervous system, Channel blocker, Chloride, Endogeny (biology), Ethanol, Euphoria, Flumazenil, GABRD, Glycine receptor, Hypnotic, Inhalational anaesthetic, Ion channel, Ligand-gated ion channel, Liver, Neurotransmitter, Nicotinic acetylcholine receptor, Nonbenzodiazepine, Protein, Ro15-4513, Sedation, Sedative, ..., Z-drug, Zolpidem, 5-HT3 receptor.

Allosteric modulator

In biochemistry and pharmacology, an allosteric modulator (allo- from the Greek meaning "other") is a substance which indirectly influences (modulates) the effects of a primary ligand that directly activates or deactivates the function of a target protein.

Allosteric regulation

In biochemistry, allosteric regulation (or allosteric control) is the regulation of an enzyme by binding an effector molecule at a site other than the enzyme's active site.
