Internal Article Condradictions

Article Text (pharmacology): " There are two drug-binding α2δ subunits, α2δ-1 and α2δ-2, and gabapentin shows similar affinity for (and hence lack of selectivity between) these two sites.[10] Gabapentin is selective in its binding to the α2δ VDCC subunit.[80][81]"

I believe this is intended to mean that gabapentin acts as an antagonist of the α2δ-1 subunit but obtains most of its clinical effects due it acting as an agonist of the α2δ-2 subunit. This section needs to be edited to explain that is has similar affinity for these subunits but works differently on them, as the current text appears to directly contradict itself. If I have misinterpreted this information (I did not research the source text) it still needs to be edited to clarify this contradiction.
