Description
Product Characteristics:
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. Rho-1 GABA receptor could play a role in retinal neurotransmission.
Subcellular location: Cell membrane
Synonyms: Gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor subunit rho-1, GABA(A) receptor subunit rho-1, GABA(C) receptor, GABRR1
Target Information: GABA is the major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the mammalian brain where it acts at GABA receptors, which are ligand-gated chloride channels. GABRR1 is a member of the rho subunit family. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2012]
