Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable GABA receptor binding activity and GABA-gated chloride ion channel activity. Predicted to contribute to GABA-A receptor activity; benzodiazepine receptor activity; and chloride channel activity. Acts upstream of or within chemical synaptic transmission. Located in synapse. Is expressed in central nervous system and eye. Used to study trigeminal neuralgia. Orthologous to human GABRG1 (gamma-aminobutyric acid type A receptor subunit gamma1).
