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]
