Scientists uncover previously unknown target of alcohol in the brain: the TMEM132B-GABAA receptor complex
A new study has uncovered a critical molecular mechanism behind alcohol's effects on the brain. Researchers found that a previously uncharacterized protein, TMEM132B, amplifies alcohol's influence on GABAA receptors.
