QuickView for GABRA3 (gene)


Gene Symbol:
GABRA3 Homo sapiens Homo sapiens
Full name:
gamma-aminobutyric acid type A receptor alpha3 subunit
Synonyms:
gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor subunit alpha-3, GABA(A) receptor subunit alpha-3, GABA(A) receptor, alpha 3, gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) A receptor, alpha 3, gamma-animobutyric acid (GABA) A receptor, alpha 3
Genomic Location:
Chr X: 151086290-151370487
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.
