GLRA4 - glycine receptor alpha 4 (pseudogene) Gene
Species: Homo sapiens
Summary
This gene encodes a glycine receptor and member of the ligand-gated ion channel family of proteins. The encoded protein is missing the fourth transmembrane region compared to related proteins in mouse and rat, and experimental data suggests that the human protein is functionally inactive. However, there is strong evidence to support transcription of this gene. As a result, RefSeq, in collaboration with Ensembl-GENCODE, has determined that this locus is best described as a transcribed pseudogene. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2019]
