GABRA6 - gamma-aminobutyric acid type A receptor subunit alpha6 Gene
Species: Homo sapiens
About GABRA6
This gene has 9 transcripts (splice variants), 266 orthologues and 45 paralogues. Low expression observed in reference dataset.
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.
