Chloride conductance of these channels can be modulated by agents such as benzodiazepines that bind to the GABA-A receptor. At least 16 distinct subunits of GABA-A receptors have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]. * **UniProt Summary**: GABA, the major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the vertebrate brain, mediates neuronal inhibition by binding to the GABA/benzodiazepine receptor and opening an integral chloride channel. |Neur chan memb| |Neur chan LBD| |benzodiazepine receptor activity| |inhibitory extracellular ligand-gated ion channel activity| |GABA-gated chloride ion channel activity| |synaptic transmission, GABAergic| |GABA-A receptor complex| |GABA-A receptor activity| |gamma-aminobutyric acid signaling pathway| |integral component of postsynaptic specialization membrane| |dendrite membrane| |transmitter-gated ion channel activity involved in regulation of postsynaptic membrane potential| |chloride channel complex| |extracellular ligand-gated ion channel activity| |chloride channel activity| |GABA-ergic synapse| |postsynapse| |chloride transmembrane transport| |regulation of postsynaptic membrane potential| |chloride transport| |inorganic anion transmembrane transport| |inorganic anion transport| |synapse| |anion transmembrane transport| |neuron projection| |anterograde trans-synaptic signaling| |chemical synaptic transmission| |regulation of membrane potential| |trans-synaptic signaling| |synaptic signaling| |cell junction| |anion transport| |inorganic ion transmembrane transport| |ion transmembrane transport| |cell-cell signaling| |transmembrane transport| |G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway| |ion transport| |nervous system process| |integral component of plasma membrane| |system process| \\ === CRISPR Data === ^Screen^Score^ |[[:results:exp116|AICAR 240μM R03 exp116]]|1.83| No correlation found to any other genes in chemogenomics.
