Summary: Predicted to enable extracellular ligand-gated monoatomic ion channel activity and glycine binding activity. Predicted to contribute to chloride channel activity. Involved in spinal cord development and synapse assembly. Predicted to be located in intracellular membrane-bounded organelle. Predicted to be part of transmembrane transporter complex. Predicted to be active in several cellular components, including GABA-ergic synapse; glycinergic synapse; and postsynaptic specialization membrane.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
