GABRE - gamma-aminobutyric acid type A receptor subunit epsilon Gene
Species: Homo sapiens
About GABRE
This gene has 12 transcripts (splice variants), 108 orthologues and 45 paralogues. Broad expression in skin (RPKM 13.6), fat (RPKM 13.4) and 17 other tissues.
Summary
The product of this gene belongs to the ligand-gated ionic channel (TC 1.A.9) family. It encodes the gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) A receptor which is a multisubunit Chloride Channel that mediates the fastest inhibitory synaptic transmission in the central nervous system. This gene encodes an epsilon subunit. It is mapped to chromosome Xq28 in a cluster comprised of genes encoding alpha 3, beta 4 and theta subunits of the same receptor. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been identified, but only one is thought to encode a protein. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008]
