Properties of taurine receptors. (A) Taurine affinities and maximal taurine currents critically depend on the subunit composition of GABA_A receptors (modified with permission from Kletke et al., 2013). (B) Typical membrane currents and dose–response curves of taurine on glycine receptors for different neuron populations in the immature neocortex revealed that taurine is a low-affinity agonist with comparable affinities in CRc (blue), SP neurons (SPn, red), and neurons from the CP and developing layers (CPn, green) (modified with permission from Kilb et al., 2002, 2008).
