- Description
- Enables extracellularly glycine-gated ion channel activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including chemical synaptic transmission; chloride transmembrane transport; and regulation of membrane potential. Predicted to act upstream of or within chloride transport and monoatomic ion transmembrane transport. Predicted to be located in cell projection and postsynaptic membrane. Predicted to be part of chloride channel complex. Predicted to be active in neuron projection; plasma membrane; and synapse. Is expressed in dorsal telencephalon; hindbrain; spinal cord; and ventral telencephalon. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in syndromic X-linked intellectual disability. Orthologous to human GLRA2 (glycine receptor alpha 2).
