Gene information for GABRA6 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID2559
Official gene symbolGABRA6
Full namegamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) A receptor, alpha 6
Aliases,MGC116903,MGC116904,
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.
