Primary Identifier | MGI:95749 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 8 | NCBI Gene Number | 110304 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable extracellularly glycine-gated chloride channel activity and glycine-gated chloride ion channel activity. Predicted to contribute to chloride channel activity. Involved in presynaptic modulation of chemical synaptic transmission. 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] |
