Anti-gamma-aminobutyric acid type A receptor alpha 6 subunit antibodies enable researchers to detect and measure the gamma-aminobutyric acid type A receptor alpha 6 subunit antigen in biological samples. This target is a reported synonym of the GABRA6 gene, which encodes gamma-aminobutyric acid type A receptor subunit alpha6. This protein is known to function in signal transduction pathways, among other biological roles. The human version of gamma-aminobutyric acid type A receptor alpha 6 subunit has a canonical amino acid length of 453 residues and a protein mass of 51 kilodaltons. It is reported to be localized in the cell membrane of cells and notably expressed in the cerebellum and cerebral cortex. gamma-aminobutyric acid type A receptor alpha 6 subunit is a member of the Ligand-gated ion channel (TC 1.A.9) protein family.
