GLRA2 - glycine receptor alpha 2 Gene

Also Known as GLR; MRXSP

Species: Homo sapiens

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 2742

About GLRA2

Cytogenetic location: Xp22.2 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): X:14,448,779-14,731,812 (from NCBI)

This gene has 4 transcripts (splice variants), 202 orthologues, 45 paralogues and is associated with 1 phenotype. Biased expression in brain (RPKM 1.9) and colon (RPKM 0.8).

Summary

The glycine receptor consists of two subunits, alpha and beta, and acts as a pentamer. The protein encoded by this gene is an alpha subunit and can bind strychnine. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Jan 2010]
