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 GABA-ergic synapse and synaptic membrane. Is expressed in brain; dentate gyrus subgranular zone; dorsal striatum; lens; and ventral striatum. Orthologous to human GABRG3 (gamma-aminobutyric acid type A receptor subunit gamma3).
