Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0)
Predicted to enable GABA-gated chloride ion channel activity; ligand-gated monoatomic ion channel activity involved in regulation of presynaptic membrane potential; and transmitter-gated monoatomic ion channel activity involved in regulation of postsynaptic membrane potential. Predicted to contribute to GABA-A receptor activity; benzodiazepine receptor activity; and chloride channel activity. Involved in inhibitory synapse assembly. Located in several cellular components, including dendrite; inhibitory synapse; and neuronal cell body. Is active in GABA-ergic synapse and postsynaptic specialization membrane. Is expressed in brain and lens. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in alcohol dependence; alcohol use disorder; autistic disorder; and developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 78. Orthologous to human GABRA2 (gamma-aminobutyric acid type A receptor subunit alpha2).
