About GABRP

Cytogenetic location: 5q35.1 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 5:170,782,720-170,814,047 (from NCBI)

This gene has 10 transcripts (splice variants), 124 orthologues and 45 paralogues. Biased expression in esophagus (RPKM 45.1), endometrium (RPKM 30.6) and 5 other tissues.

Summary

The gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) A receptor is a multisubunit Chloride Channel that mediates the fastest inhibitory synaptic transmission in the central nervous system. The subunit encoded by this gene is expressed in several non-neuronal tissues including the uterus and ovaries. This subunit can assemble with known GABA A receptor subunits, and the presence of this subunit alters the sensitivity of recombinant receptors to modulatory agents such as pregnanolone. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, May 2014]
