GABRA3 - gamma-aminobutyric acid type A receptor subunit alpha3 Gene
Also Known as EPILX2
Species: Homo sapiens
About GABRA3
This gene has 4 transcripts (splice variants), 198 orthologues, 45 paralogues and is associated with 1 phenotype. Biased expression in brain (RPKM 11.7) and placenta (RPKM 1.8).
Summary
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.
