About Gabra4

Summary

Enables transmitter-gated ion channel activity involved in regulation of postsynaptic membrane potential. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including GABAergic synaptic transmission; chloride transmembrane transport; and gamma-aminobutyric acid signaling pathway. Predicted to act upstream of or within central nervous system development. Is active in GABA-ergic synapse. Is integral component of postsynaptic specialization membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autistic disorder. Orthologous to human GABRA4 (gamma-aminobutyric acid type A receptor subunit alpha4).
