Summary: Predicted to enable extracellularly glycine-gated chloride channel activity and glycine-gated chloride ion channel activity. Predicted to contribute to chloride channel activity. Involved in presynaptic modulation of chemical synaptic transmission. Is active in glycinergic synapse and presynaptic membrane. Is expressed in central nervous system and eye. Orthologous to human GLRA3 (glycine receptor alpha 3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

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.
