Summary: Enables extracellularly glycine-gated chloride channel activity; glycine binding activity; and transmitter-gated monoatomic ion channel activity involved in regulation of postsynaptic membrane potential. Involved in glycinergic synaptic transmission; inhibitory postsynaptic potential; and response to alcohol. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including adult walking behavior; neuronal action potential; and regulation of respiratory gaseous exchange by nervous system process. Located in several cellular components, including external side of plasma membrane; inhibitory synapse; and postsynaptic membrane. Is active in glycinergic synapse. Is expressed in brain; brainstem; rhombomere 2; rhombomere 4; and spinal cord. Used to study hyperekplexia and hyperekplexia 1. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hyperekplexia 1. Orthologous to human GLRA1 (glycine receptor alpha 1). [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.
