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]. * **<color #00a2e8>UniProt Summary</color>**: 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}. <button type='primary' size='sm' modal='Pfam_Domains'>Pfam Domains</button> <button type='primary' size='sm' modal='GO_terms'>GO Terms</button> <modal id='Pfam_Domains' size='lg' title='Pfam Domains'> |Neur chan memb| |Neur chan LBD| </modal> <modal id='GO_terms' size='lg' title='GO Terms'> |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| </modal> \\ === CRISPR Data === <button type='primary' size='small' modal='Compound_Hit'>Compound Hit</button> <button type='default' size='small' modal='Most_Correlated_Genes'>Most Correlated Genes in Chemogenomics</button> <button type='primary' size='small' modal='Essential_Avana'>Tissues where Essential in the Avana Dataset (DepMap 20Q1)</button> <modal id='Compound_Hit' size='lg' title='Compound Hit'> ^Screen^Score^ |[[:results:exp85|UM0129480 7μM R02 exp85]]|1.91| </modal> <modal id='Most_Correlated_Genes' size='lg' title='Most Correlated Genes in Chemogenomics'> No correlation found to any other genes in chemogenomics. </modal> <modal id='Essential_Avana' size='lg' title='Tissues where Essential in the Avana Dataset (DepMap 20Q1)'> Global Fraction of Cell Lines Where Essential: 0/694 ^Tissue^Fraction Of Cell Lines Where Essential^ |1290807.0|0/1| |909776.0|0/1| |bile duct|0/28| |blood|0/26| |bone|0/26| |breast|0/30| |central nervous system|0/49| |cervix|0/4| |colorectal|0/17| |esophagus|0/11| |fibroblast|0/1| |gastric|0/14| |kidney|0/18| |liver|0/19| |lung|0/72| |lymphocyte|0/16| |ovary|0/25| |pancreas|0/22| |peripheral nervous system|0/15| |plasma cell|0/12| |prostate|0/1| |skin|0/20| |soft tissue|0/9| |thyroid|0/2| |upper aerodigestive|0/22| |urinary tract|0/28| |uterus|0/5| </modal> == Essentiality in NALM6 == * **<color #00a2e8>Essentiality Rank</color>**: 12961 * **<color #00a2e8>Expression level (log2 read counts)</color>**: 0.61 <button type='primary' size='small' modal='Dist_expr'>Expression Distribution</button> <modal id='Dist_expr' size='lg' title='GLRA2 Expression in NALM6 Cells: 0.61'> {{:chemogenomics:nalm6 dist.png?nolink |}} </modal> Last modified: 2025/12/10 20:19by 127.0.0.1
