gamma-aminobutyric acid type A receptor subunit alpha6
Synonyms
GABA-A receptor alpha-6 subunit
GABA(A) receptor subunit alpha-6
Biotype
protein coding gene
Automated Description
Enables diazepam binding activity; heterocyclic compound binding activity; and inhibitory extracellular ligand-gated monoatomic ion channel activity. Contributes to GABA-A receptor activity; GABA-gated chloride ion channel activity; and benzodiazepine receptor activity. Involved in GABAergic synaptic transmission and response to ethanol. Located in dendrite; neuronal cell body membrane; and synaptic membrane. Part of receptor complex. Is active in several cellular components, including cerebellar Golgi cell to granule cell synapse; hippocampal mossy fiber to CA3 synapse; and postsynaptic specialization membrane. Used to study obesity. Orthologous to human GABRA6 (gamma-aminobutyric acid type A receptor subunit alpha6).
