Summary: Enables extracellularly glycine-gated chloride channel activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to ethanol; cellular response to zinc ion; and chloride transmembrane transport. Located in plasma membrane. Is active in glycinergic synapse and postsynaptic specialization membrane. Orthologous to human GLRA3 (glycine receptor alpha 3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
