Relative expression reflects the expression values obtained for the GlyR variants in relation to levels of the control protein pan-cadherin. For normalized expression, expression of GlyR α2 variants is shown as a percentage of wild-type GlyR α2 subunit values (100%). p-values were calculated relative to wild-type GlyR α2 homomers using Student’s t-test (analysis of variance) and values below *p < 0.05 were considered significant, **p < 0.01. Values are displayed as means ± standard error of the mean (±SEM).
