Differential distribution of glutamate- and GABA-gated chloride channels in the housefly Musca domestica

- GluCl/GABACl mRNAs and proteins are predominantly expressed in the adult head.
- GluCl immunostaining was found in the optic lobe, leg motor neuron, and femur.
- The tissue distribution of GluCls differs from that of GABACls.
- GluCls and GABACls may have distinct physiological roles.
