| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables GABA-A receptor activity and transmitter-gated monoatomic ion channel activity involved in regulation of postsynaptic membrane potential. Contributes to GABA-gated chloride ion channel activity. Involved in several processes, including chloride transmembrane transport; inner ear development; and nervous system development. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cellular response to zinc ion; circadian sleep/wake cycle, REM sleep; and learning or memory. Part of GABA-A receptor complex. Is active in GABA-ergic synapse and cell surface. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; eye; jaw; and olfactory epithelium. Used to study autism spectrum disorder. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in alcohol dependence; alcohol use disorder; childhood absence epilepsy; developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 43; and heroin dependence. Orthologous to human GABRB3 (gamma-aminobutyric acid type A receptor subunit beta3). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mutants die at birth with cleft palate. Survivors show delayed growth, reduced lifespan, seizures, ataxia, hyperactivity, hyperresponsiveness and reduced learning, mothering ability and REM sleep. A point mutation lowers anesthetic effect.
