1.A.9.4.3
Glutamate-gated chloride channel, GluC1 or Glc-4 (Yamaguchi et al., 2012). Ivermectin, an anthelminthic drug, inhibits neuronal activity and muscular contractility in arthropods and nematodes, activating glutamate-gated chloride channels at nanomolar concentrations (Lynagh and Lynch, 2012; Zemkova et al. 2014). Mutations in GluCl associated with field ivermectin-resistant head lice have been identified (Amanzougaghene et al. 2018).
