Abstract
The effect of tetramethylenedisulphotetramine (TETS) on the increase in membrane conductance produced by gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) at the hermit crab neuromuscular junction was investigated. TETS produced a dose-dependent antagonism of GABA, which was characterized by a non-parallel shift of the log dose-conductance curve for GABA with a reduced maximal conductance change.
