Biotype
protein coding gene
Automated Description
Predicted to enable GABA-gated chloride ion channel activity. 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. Predicted to act upstream of or within chloride transport and monoatomic ion transmembrane transport. Predicted to be located in postsynaptic membrane. Predicted to be part of GABA-A receptor complex. Predicted to be active in dendrite membrane and postsynapse. Is expressed in brain and eye. Orthologous to human GABRA6 (gamma-aminobutyric acid type A receptor subunit alpha6).
