Description
The expression of glycine receptors in the retina of clawed frog, Xenopus laevis was studied immunocytochemically. Glycine receptors (GlyRs), as revealed by means of several different antibodies, were mainly distributed in the inner (IPL) and the outer plexiform layers. Their composition was determined to include a2 and a3 subunits. Typical punctate appearance and specific lamination in the IPL were seen with each of the antibodies directed against the different GlyRs’ subunits. A notion for diversity of the glycine receptors was put forward, according to which the a2 and a3 subunits are located in different subtypes of glycine synapses.
