Difference between GABAA receptor and Zolpidem

GABAA receptor vs. Zolpidem

The GABAA receptor (GABAAR) is an ionotropic receptor and ligand-gated ion channel. Zolpidem, sold under the brand name Ambien, among others, is a sedative primarily used for the treatment of trouble sleeping.

Similarities between GABAA receptor and Zolpidem

GABAA receptor and Zolpidem have 19 things in common (in Unionpedia): Allosteric modulator, Anticonvulsant, Anxiolytic, Benzodiazepine, Central nervous system, Euphoria, Flumazenil, GABRA2, GABRA5, GABRA6, Gamma-Aminobutyric acid, Gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor subunit alpha-1, Hypnotic, Ligand-gated ion channel, Liver, Muscle relaxant, Nonbenzodiazepine, Sedative, Z-drug.

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.

Anticonvulsant

Anticonvulsants (also commonly known as antiepileptic drugs or as antiseizure drugs) are a diverse group of pharmacological agents used in the treatment of epileptic seizures.

Hypnotic

Hypnotic (from Greek Hypnos, sleep) or soporific drugs, commonly known as sleeping pills, are a class of psychoactive drugs whose primary function is to induce sleep and to be used in the treatment of insomnia (sleeplessness), or surgical anesthesia.

Ligand-gated ion channel

Ligand-gated ion channels (LICs, LGIC), also commonly referred as ionotropic receptors, are a group of transmembrane ion-channel proteins which open to allow ions such as Na+, K+, Ca2+, and/or Cl− to pass through the membrane in response to the binding of a chemical messenger (i.e. a ligand), such as a neurotransmitter.
