Gene nameGLRA3
Protein nameGlycine receptor subunit alpha-3
Uncharacterized protein GLRA3
Glycine receptor alpha 3 subunit
Synonyms
DescriptionFUNCTION: Glycine receptors are ligand-gated chloride channels. Channel opening is triggered by extracellular glycine . Channel characteristics depend on the subunit composition; heteropentameric channels display faster channel closure (By similarity). Plays an important role in the down-regulation of neuronal excitability (By similarity). Contributes to the generation of inhibitory postsynaptic currents (By similarity). Contributes to increased pain perception in response to increased prostaglandin E2 levels (By similarity). Plays a role in cellular responses to ethanol (By similarity). .
