Disease

GLRA2_HUMAN The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Function

GLRA2_HUMAN Glycine receptors are ligand-gated chloride channels. Channel opening is triggered by extracellular glycine (PubMed:15302677, PubMed:16144831, PubMed:2155780, PubMed:23895467, PubMed:25445488, PubMed:26370147, PubMed:34473954). Channel opening is also triggered by taurine and beta-alanine (PubMed:15302677). Plays a role in synaptic plasticity (By similarity). Contributes to the generation of inhibitory postsynaptic currents, and is involved in the down-regulation of neuronal excitability (PubMed:25445488). Plays a role in cellular responses to ethanol (PubMed:23895467).[UniProtKB:Q7TNC8]^[1] ^[2] ^[3] ^[4] ^[5] ^[6]
