Function
Pi subunit of the heteropentameric ligand-gated chloride channel gated by gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). GABA-gated chloride channels, also named GABA(A) receptors (GABAAR), consist of five subunits arranged around a central pore and contain GABA active binding site(s) located at the alpha and beta subunit interfaces. When activated by GABA, GABAARs selectively allow the flow of chloride anions across the cell membrane down their electrochemical gradient.
Biological Context
Subcellular Location: Cell membrane (Multi-pass membrane protein); Apical cell membrane (Multi-pass membrane protein)
Tissue Specificity: Most abundant in non-neuronal tissues including the uterus, ovaries and also expressed in lung, thymus and prostate. Expressed in the hippocampus
