Gene: GABRA5 (gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) A receptor, alpha 5) Homo sapiens

Symbol:

GABRA5

Name:

gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) A receptor, alpha 5

Description:

GABA is the major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the mammalian brain where it acts at GABA-A receptors, which are ligand-gated chloride channels. Chloride conductance of these channels can be modulated by agents such as benzodiazepines that bind to the GABA-A receptor. At least 16 distinct subunits of GABA-A receptors have been identified. Transcript variants utilizing three different alternative non-coding first exons have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Type:
