Description
Exhibits extracellularly glycine-gated chloride channel activity and glycine binding activity. Predicted to contribute to chloride channel activity. Involved in ion transport; nervous system development; and response to amino acid. Localizes to integral component of membrane. Used to study hyperekplexia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hyperekplexia 1. Is expressed in brain; hindbrain; and spinal cord. Orthologous to human GLRA1 (glycine receptor alpha 1).
