description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables transmitter-gated monoatomic ion channel activity involved in regulation of postsynaptic membrane potential. Contributes to GABA-gated chloride ion channel activity. Involved in inner ear development and nervous system development. Is active in GABA-ergic synapse and postsynaptic specialization membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; integumental system; nervous system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autistic disorder and developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 92. Orthologous to human GABRB2 (gamma-aminobutyric acid type A receptor subunit beta2). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for a null allele show hyperactivity and abnormal GABA-mediated receptor currents. Homozygotes for a derivative of this allele show a sexually dimorphic cochlear phenotype associated with OHC dysfunction. Homozygotes for a knock-in allele show altered behavioral response to etomidate. [provided by MGI curators] |
