About Glra1

Summary

Enables extracellularly glycine-gated Chloride Channel activity; glycine binding activity; and identical protein binding activity. Involved in chloride transport and glycinergic synaptic transmission. Located in endoplasmic reticulum and external side of plasma membrane. Is active in calyx of Held and glycinergic synapse. Is integral component of postsynaptic specialization membrane and integral component of presynaptic membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hyperekplexia 1. Orthologous to human GLRA1 (glycine receptor alpha 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
