| 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. Involved in modulation of chemical synaptic transmission. Is active in GABA-ergic synapse; glycinergic synapse; and postsynaptic specialization membrane. Is expressed in brain; spinal cord; and vascular element. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in syndromic X-linked intellectual disability Pilorge type. Orthologous to human GLRA2 (glycine receptor alpha 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele lack cortical neuron responses to glycine and taurine but are otherwise normal. Mice homozygous for another targeted allele exhibit impaired interneuron migration into the cortical wall. [provided by MGI curators] |
