IV. Literature review

[source]
Gene nameGLRA2
Protein nameGlycine receptor alpha 2
Glycine receptor subunit alpha-2
Synonyms
DescriptionFUNCTION: Glycine receptors are ligand-gated chloride channels. Channel opening is triggered by extracellular glycine . Channel opening is also triggered by taurine and beta-alanine . Plays a role in synaptic plasticity (By similarity). Contributes to the generation of inhibitory postsynaptic currents, and is involved in the down-regulation of neuronal excitability . Plays a role in cellular responses to ethanol . .
