Function

Subunit of heteromeric glycine-gated chloride channels. Plays an important role in the down-regulation of neuronal excitability. Contributes to the generation of inhibitory postsynaptic currents.

Biological Context

Subcellular Location: Postsynaptic cell membrane (Multi-pass membrane protein); Synapse; Perikaryon; Cell projection, dendrite; Cell membrane (Multi-pass membrane protein)
Disease Association: Hyperekplexia 1 (HKPX1) : A neurologic disorder characterized by muscular rigidity of central nervous system origin, particularly in the neonatal period, and by an exaggerated startle response to unexpected acoustic or tactile stimuli. [The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry]

Protein Biology

Function

Subunit of heteromeric glycine-gated chloride channels (PubMed:14551753, PubMed:23994010, PubMed:25730860, PubMed:37821459). Plays an important role in the down-regulation of neuronal excitability (PubMed:8298642, PubMed:9009272). Contributes to the generation of inhibitory postsynaptic currents (PubMed:25445488). Channel activity is potentiated by ethanol (PubMed:25973519). Potentiation of channel activity by intoxicating levels of ethanol contribute to the sedative effects of ethanol (By similarity)

Subunit

Interacts with GLRB to form heteropentameric channels; this is probably the predominant form in vivo (PubMed:22715885, PubMed:22973015, PubMed:25445488, PubMed:35526563, PubMed:37821459). Heteropentamer composed of four GLRA1 subunits and one GLRB subunit (PubMed:37821459). Heteropentamer composed of two GLRA1 and three GLRB (PubMed:22715885). Heteropentamer composed of three GLRA1 and two GLRB (PubMed:22973015). Homopentamer (in vitro) (PubMed:22715885, PubMed:22973015, PubMed:23994010, PubMed:25730860). Both homopentamers and heteropentamers form functional ion channels, but their characteristics are subtly different (PubMed:14551753, PubMed:22715885, PubMed:22973015, PubMed:23994010, PubMed:25445488, PubMed:25730860)

Gene: GLRA1  |  Organism: Homo sapiens  |  Synonyms: Glycine receptor 48 kDa subunit; Glycine receptor strychnine-binding subunit
