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. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2013]. * **<color #00a2e8>UniProt Summary</color>**: 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. <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 LBD| |Neur chan memb| </modal> <modal id='GO_terms' size='lg' title='GO Terms'> |inhibitory synapse assembly| |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| |dendrite membrane| |integral component of synaptic vesicle 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| |postsynapse| |chloride transmembrane transport| |synapse assembly| |regulation of postsynaptic membrane potential| |chloride transport| |inorganic anion transmembrane transport| |inorganic anion transport| |neurotransmitter transport| |postsynaptic membrane| |synapse| |synapse organization| |anion transmembrane transport| |neuron projection| |regulation of neurotransmitter levels| |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| </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:exp191|Hypoxia 5%O2 R04 exp191]]|1.73| </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: 0/739 ^Tissue^Fraction Of Cell Lines Where Essential^ |1290807.0|0/1| |909776.0|0/1| |bile duct|0/28| |blood|0/28| |bone|0/26| |breast|0/33| |central nervous system|0/56| |cervix|0/4| |colorectal|0/17| |esophagus|0/13| |fibroblast|0/1| |gastric|0/16| |kidney|0/21| |liver|0/20| |lung|0/75| |lymphocyte|0/16| |ovary|0/26| |pancreas|0/24| |peripheral nervous system|0/16| |plasma cell|0/15| |prostate|0/1| |skin|0/24| |soft tissue|0/9| |thyroid|0/2| |upper aerodigestive|0/22| |urinary tract|0/29| |uterus|0/5| </modal> == Essentiality in NALM6 == * **<color #00a2e8>Essentiality Rank</color>**: 17984 * **<color #00a2e8>Expression level (log2 read counts)</color>**: 0.53 <button type='primary' size='small' modal='Dist_expr'>Expression Distribution</button> <modal id='Dist_expr' size='lg' title='GABRA2 Expression in NALM6 Cells: 0.53'> {{:chemogenomics:nalm6 dist.png?nolink |}} </modal> Last modified: 2026/01/07 22:36by 127.0.0.1
