Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Amino acid

Heinrich Betz mainly investigates Glycine receptor, Biochemistry, Cell biology, Gephyrin and Inhibitory postsynaptic potential. His Glycine receptor research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Receptor, Molecular biology, Protein subunit and Neuroscience. Biochemistry is often connected to Biophysics in his work.

His research in Cell biology intersects with topics in Glycine transporter 2, Granule cell, Neurite, Glycine transporter 1 and Membrane protein. His Gephyrin research includes elements of Collybistin, Tubulin, Microtubule and Transmembrane protein. He has included themes like Transport protein, Dynein, Neurotransmitter receptor, Immunoelectron microscopy and Binding site in his Inhibitory postsynaptic potential study.

His most cited work include:

  • The strychnine-binding subunit of the glycine receptor shows homology with nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. (654 citations)
  • GlyR alpha3: an essential target for spinal PGE2-mediated inflammatory pain sensitization. (481 citations)
  • Widespread expression of glycine receptor subunit mRNAs in the adult and developing rat brain. (465 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Heinrich Betz mostly deals with Glycine receptor, Biochemistry, Cell biology, Glycine and Molecular biology. His Glycine receptor research includes themes of Receptor, Biophysics, Protein subunit and Inhibitory postsynaptic potential. His Biophysics research incorporates elements of Ligand-gated ion channel and Ion channel.

Heinrich Betz interconnects Neurotransmitter, Glycine transporter, Neurotransmitter receptor, Neurotransmission and Synaptic vesicle in the investigation of issues within Cell biology. Heinrich Betz has researched Glycine in several fields, including Agonist, NMDA receptor and Strychnine. Heinrich Betz works mostly in the field of Molecular biology, limiting it down to topics relating to Acetylcholine receptor and, in certain cases, Acetylcholine.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Glycine receptor (48.45%)
  • Biochemistry (45.11%)
  • Cell biology (31.98%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2003-2021)?

  • Glycine receptor (48.45%)
  • Biochemistry (45.11%)
  • Cell biology (31.98%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Glycine receptor, Biochemistry, Cell biology, Inhibitory postsynaptic potential and Neuroscience. His study in Glycine receptor is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Receptor, Neurotransmission, Biophysics and Protein subunit. The concepts of his Cell biology study are interwoven with issues in HEK 293 cells, Retina, Inner plexiform layer and Glycine transporter 1.

His research integrates issues of Neurotransmitter receptor, Strychnine and Picrotoxin in his study of Inhibitory postsynaptic potential. His Neuroscience research incorporates themes from Synaptic plasticity and Hyperekplexia. The various areas that Heinrich Betz examines in his Gephyrin study include Collybistin, GABAergic, Postsynaptic density and GABAA receptor.

Between 2003 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • GlyR alpha3: an essential target for spinal PGE2-mediated inflammatory pain sensitization. (481 citations)
  • Neuroligin 2 drives postsynaptic assembly at perisomatic inhibitory synapses through gephyrin and collybistin (351 citations)
  • The β Subunit Determines the Ligand Binding Properties of Synaptic Glycine Receptors (296 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Amino acid

Heinrich Betz spends much of his time researching Glycine receptor, Biochemistry, Cell biology, Neuroscience and Inhibitory postsynaptic potential. His Glycine receptor study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Receptor, Neurotransmission, Protein subunit and Central nervous system. His research ties Biophysics and Biochemistry together.

His work carried out in the field of Cell biology brings together such families of science as Reuptake and Glycine transporter. His studies deal with areas such as Long-term potentiation, Postsynaptic potential and Metabotropic glutamate receptor as well as Neuroscience. His Inhibitory postsynaptic potential research focuses on Gephyrin in particular.
