GABA converts to an inhibitory receptor from an excitatory receptor by the upregulation of KCC2 cotransporter.

Thus GABA receptors are considered inhibitory receptors.

CD22 functions as an inhibitory receptor for B cell receptor (BCR) signalling.

To control their cytotoxic activity, NK cells have two types of surface receptors: activating receptors and inhibitory receptors.

When an inhibitory receptor is stimulated by the binding of MHC class I, kinases and phosphatases are recruited to the receptor complex.

There are two types of inhibitory receptors:

Lack of cytotoxicity in vivo may be due to the presence of ligands for their inhibitory receptors.

T cell activation through the T cell receptor and CD28 leads to increased expression of CTLA-4, an inhibitory receptor for B7 molecules.

General anaesthetics can inhibit the channel functions of excitatory receptors or potentiate functions of inhibitory receptors, respectively.

FCRL4 is an inhibitory receptor expressed on human memory B cells which resides in epithelial tissues.
