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. Transcript variants utilizing three different alternative non-coding first exons have been described. [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| |inhibitory extracellular ligand-gated ion channel activity| |benzodiazepine receptor activity| |GABA-gated chloride ion channel activity| |synaptic transmission, GABAergic| |GABA receptor binding| |GABA-A receptor complex| |GABA-A receptor activity| |gamma-aminobutyric acid signaling pathway| |integral component of postsynaptic specialization membrane| |neuronal cell body membrane| |innervation| |dendrite membrane| |behavioral fear response| |behavioral defense response| |fear response| |transmitter-gated ion channel activity involved in regulation of postsynaptic membrane potential| |transporter activity| |inner ear receptor cell development| |extracellular ligand-gated ion channel activity| |chloride channel complex| |cochlea development| |inner ear receptor cell differentiation| |chloride channel activity| |mechanoreceptor differentiation| |integral component of presynaptic membrane| |GABA-ergic synapse| |multicellular organismal response to stress| |associative learning| |nerve development| |postsynapse| |chloride transmembrane transport| |regulation of postsynaptic membrane potential| |chloride transport| |inorganic anion transmembrane transport| |negative regulation of neuron apoptotic process| |sensory perception of sound| |learning| |inorganic anion transport| |sensory perception of mechanical stimulus| |inner ear development| |signaling receptor activity| |negative regulation of neuron death| |regulation of neuron apoptotic process| |ear development| |learning or memory| |synapse| |anion transmembrane transport| |cognition| |regulation of neuron death| |neuron projection| |anterograde trans-synaptic signaling| |chemical synaptic transmission| |regulation of membrane potential| |trans-synaptic signaling| |synaptic signaling| |sensory organ development| |cell junction| |behavior| |anion transport| |inorganic ion transmembrane transport| |brain development| |head development| |neuron development| |negative regulation of apoptotic process| |negative regulation of programmed cell death| |ion transmembrane transport| |sensory perception| |central nervous system development| |negative regulation of cell death| |neuron differentiation| |cell-cell signaling| |transmembrane transport| |G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway| |defense response| |ion transport| |nervous system process| |integral component of plasma membrane| |generation of neurons| |regulation of apoptotic process| |regulation of programmed cell death| |neurogenesis| |cell development| |regulation of cell death| |system process| \\ === CRISPR Data === ^Screen^Score^ |[[:results:exp537|WNT3A 44ng/ml R08 exp537]]|2.05| No correlation found to any other genes in chemogenomics.
