DESCRIPTION

Also known as GBRA3_RAT, Gabra3, Gabra-3. GABA, the major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the vertebrate brain, mediates neuronal inhibition by binding to the GABA/benzodiazepine receptor and opening an integral chloride channel. Generally pentameric. There are five types of GABA(A) receptor chains: alpha, beta, gamma, delta, and rho. Binds UBQLN1 (By similarity). Interacts with GPHN (By similarity).
