About Gabra2

Summary

Predicted to enable GABA-gated chloride ion channel activity; inhibitory extracellular ligand-gated ion channel activity; and transmitter-gated ion channel activity involved in regulation of postsynaptic membrane potential. Predicted to contribute to GABA-A receptor activity; benzodiazepine receptor activity; and Chloride Channel activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including GABAergic synaptic transmission; chloride transmembrane transport; and inhibitory synapse assembly. Located in dendrite membrane. Is active in GABA-ergic synapse. Is integral component of postsynaptic specialization membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in alcohol use disorder; autistic disorder; and developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 78. Orthologous to human GABRA2 (gamma-aminobutyric acid type A receptor subunit alpha2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
