Gene information for GABRA2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID2555
Official gene symbolGABRA2
Full namegamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) A receptor, alpha 2
Aliases,FLJ97076,
Gene summaryGABA is the major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the mammalian brain where it acts at GABA-A receptors, which are ligand-gated chloride channels. Chloride conductance of these channels can be modulated by agents such as benzodiazepines that bind to the GABA-A receptor. At least 16 distinct subunits of GABA-A receptors have been identified. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq]
