Gene: GABRA2
Alternate names for this Gene: EIEE78
Gene Summary: GABA 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 different isoforms have been found for this gene.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 4
Location in Chromosome : 4p12
Description of this Gene: gamma-aminobutyric acid type A receptor subunit alpha2
Type of Gene: protein-coding
