Potassium-stimulated release of GABA, glycine, and taurine from the chick retina
Neurochem Res.
1978 Aug.
Abstract
The effect of depolarizing potassium concentration on the release of [14C]glycine, [3H]GABA, and [3S]taurine was investigated in the whole chick retina and in a synaptosomal fraction prepared from the chick retina. In the whole retina, increasing potassium concentration above 40 mM resulted in an increased release of the three amino acids. The release of glycine was the most stimulated and that of taurine, the least. The potassium-evoked release of glycine and GABA was calcium dependent. In the synaptosomal fraction, 68.5 mM potassium significantly stimulated the efflux of GABA and glycine by a calcium-dependent mechanism. The release of taurine from this fraction was unaffected by high potassium.
