Biological Function Ligand-gated chloride channel which is a component of the heteropentameric receptor for GABA, the major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain (PubMed:9108119). Plays an important role in the formation of functional inhibitory GABAergic synapses in addition to mediating synaptic inhibition as a GABA- gated ion channel (PubMed:27129275). The gamma2 subunit is necessary but not sufficient for a rapid formation of active synaptic contacts and the synaptogenic effect of this subunit is influenced by the type of alpha and beta subunits present in the receptor pentamer (PubMed:27129275). The alpha1/beta3/gamma2 receptor exhibits synatogenic activity whereas the alpha2/beta3/gamma2 receptor shows very little or no synaptogenic activity (PubMed:27129275). Functions also as histamine receptor and mediates cellular responses to histamine (By similarity). Plays an important role in somatosensation and in the production of antinociception (PubMed:10670447). {UniProtKB:P28472, PubMed:10670447, PubMed:27129275, PubMed:9108119}.
Research Areas Neuroscience
Background Ion channels are integral membrane proteins thathelp establish and control the small voltage gradient across the plasma membrane of living cells by allowing the flow of ions down their electrochemical gradient. In some ion channels, the flow of ions is governed by a gate which is controlled by chemical or electrical signals, temperature, or mechanical forces. The GABA-A receptor is a fast acting ligand-gated ion channel. GABA-A receptors are the major fast inhibitory neurotransmitter gated ion channels in the brain.
