Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable GABA-gated chloride ion channel activity and transmitter-gated monoatomic ion channel activity involved in regulation of postsynaptic membrane potential. Predicted to contribute to GABA-A receptor activity; benzodiazepine receptor activity; and chloride channel activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including chloride transmembrane transport; inhibitory synapse assembly; and negative regulation of chloride transport. Predicted to act upstream of or within chloride transport. Predicted to be part of GABA-A receptor complex and transmembrane transporter complex. Predicted to be active in GABA-ergic synapse; dendrite membrane; and postsynaptic membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including heart; limb; nervous system; skeleton; and urinary system. Orthologous to human GABRE (gamma-aminobutyric acid type A receptor subunit epsilon).
