The protein encoded by this gene is an alpha subunit and can bind strychnine. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Jan 2010]. * **UniProt Summary**: Glycine receptors are ligand-gated chloride channels. Channel opening is triggered by extracellular glycine (PubMed:2155780, PubMed:15302677, PubMed:16144831, PubMed:23895467, PubMed:25445488). Channel opening is also triggered by taurine and beta-alanine (PubMed:15302677). Plays a role in the down-regulation of neuronal excitability. Contributes to the generation of inhibitory postsynaptic currents (PubMed:25445488). Plays a role in cellular responses to ethanol (PubMed:23895467). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15302677, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16144831, ECO:0000269|PubMed:2155780, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23895467, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25445488}. |Neur chan memb| |Neur chan LBD| |glycine-gated chloride ion channel activity| |extracellularly glycine-gated chloride channel activity| |glycinergic synapse| |synaptic transmission, glycinergic| |cellular response to ethanol| |glycine binding| |cellular response to zinc ion| |transmitter-gated ion channel activity involved in regulation of postsynaptic membrane potential| |chloride channel complex| |extracellular ligand-gated ion channel activity| |response to zinc ion| |chloride channel activity| |excitatory postsynaptic potential| |chemical synaptic transmission, postsynaptic| |cellular response to amino acid stimulus| |cellular response to alcohol| |chloride transmembrane transport| |regulation of postsynaptic membrane potential| |chloride transport| |neuropeptide signaling pathway| |inorganic anion transmembrane transport| |response to amino acid| |cellular response to antibiotic| |response to ethanol| |transmembrane signaling receptor activity| |inorganic anion transport| |cellular response to metal ion| |postsynaptic membrane| |cellular response to acid chemical| |cellular response to toxic substance| |cellular response to inorganic substance| |response to alcohol| |synapse| |anion transmembrane transport| |response to antibiotic| |neuron projection| |response to acid chemical| |response to metal ion| |cellular response to drug| |chemical synaptic transmission| |anterograde trans-synaptic signaling| |cell surface receptor signaling pathway involved in cell-cell signaling| |regulation of membrane potential| |trans-synaptic signaling| |synaptic signaling| |response to toxic substance| |response to inorganic substance| |cell junction| |anion transport| |cellular response to organonitrogen compound| |inorganic ion transmembrane transport| |cellular response to nitrogen compound| |ion transmembrane transport| |response to organonitrogen compound| |response to drug| |cellular response to oxygen-containing compound| |response to nitrogen compound| |cell-cell signaling| |cellular response to endogenous stimulus| |transmembrane transport| |G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway| |ion transport| |nervous system process| |integral component of plasma membrane| |response to endogenous stimulus| |response to oxygen-containing compound| |system process| \\ === CRISPR Data === ^Screen^Score^ |[[:results:exp85|UM0129480 7μM R02 exp85]]|1.91| No correlation found to any other genes in chemogenomics.
