Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables transmitter-gated monoatomic ion channel activity involved in regulation of postsynaptic membrane potential. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including GABAergic synaptic transmission; chloride transmembrane transport; and inhibitory synapse assembly. Predicted to act upstream of or within chloride transport and monoatomic ion transmembrane transport. Is active in cerebellar Golgi cell to granule cell synapse. Is expressed in central nervous system and retina. Orthologous to human GABRA6 (gamma-aminobutyric acid type A receptor subunit alpha6).
