GLRA1 - glycine receptor alpha 1 Gene

Also Known as STHE; HKPX1

Species: Homo sapiens

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 2741

About GLRA1

Cytogenetic location: 5q33.1 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 5:151,822,513-151,924,851 (from NCBI)

This gene has 4 transcripts (splice variants), 202 orthologues, 45 paralogues and is associated with 4 phenotypes. Low expression observed in reference dataset.

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is a subunit of a pentameric inhibitory glycine receptor, which mediates postsynaptic inhibition in the central nervous system. Defects in this gene are a cause of startle disease (STHE), also known as hereditary hyperekplexia or congenital stiff-person syndrome. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2015]
