| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 9.1.0) Predicted to enable excitatory extracellular ligand-gated monoatomic ion channel activity and glycine-gated chloride ion channel activity. Predicted to contribute to extracellularly glycine-gated chloride channel activity. Involved in presynaptic modulation of chemical synaptic transmission. Acts upstream of or within glutamate receptor clustering. Located in GABA-ergic synapse; dendrite; and glutamatergic synapse. Is active in glycinergic synapse and presynaptic membrane. Is expressed in central nervous system and eye. Orthologous to human GLRA3 (glycine receptor alpha 3). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice are fertile and display decreased inflammatory pain sensitization without any gross abnormalities in the brain or spinal cord. [provided by MGI curators] |
