GENE INFORMATION

Gene name

GABRA6

Description

Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) A receptor, alpha 6 (HGNC Symbol)

Entrez 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.
