About Glrb

Summary

Enables extracellularly glycine-gated ion channel activity and glycine binding activity. Involved in glycinergic synaptic transmission. Is active in glycinergic synapse. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hyperekplexia 2. Orthologous to human GLRB (glycine receptor beta). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
