Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0)
Predicted to enable GABA-gated chloride ion channel activity 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. Acts upstream of or within central nervous system development. Predicted to be located in postsynaptic membrane. Predicted to be part of GABA-A receptor complex and transmembrane transporter complex. Predicted to be active in GABA-ergic synapse; dendrite membrane; and postsynaptic specialization membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; eye; genitourinary system; and spinal cord. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autistic disorder. Orthologous to human GABRA4 (gamma-aminobutyric acid type A receptor subunit alpha4).
