(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID2561
Official gene symbolGABRB2
Full namegamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) A receptor, beta 2
Aliases,MGC119386,MGC119388,MGC119389,
Gene summaryThe gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) A receptor is a multisubunit chloride channel that mediates the fastest inhibitory synaptic transmission in the central nervous system. This gene encodes GABA A receptor, beta 2 subunit. It is mapped to chromosome 5q34 in a cluster comprised of genes encoding alpha 1 and gamma 2 subunits of the GABA A receptor. Alternative splicing of this gene generates 2 transcript variants, differing by a 114 bp insertion. [provided by RefSeq]
