Gene: GABRB1
Alternate names for this Gene: DEE45|EIEE45
Gene Summary: The 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 1 subunit. It is mapped to chromosome 4p12 in a cluster comprised of genes encoding alpha 4, alpha 2 and gamma 1 subunits of the GABA A receptor. Alteration of this gene is implicated in the pathogenetics of schizophrenia.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 4
Location in Chromosome : 4p12
Description of this Gene: gamma-aminobutyric acid type A receptor subunit beta1
Type of Gene: protein-coding
