Glycine receptor, alpha 1
Template:Short description Template:Infobox gene Glycine receptor subunit alpha-1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the GLRA1 gene.[1][2]
Function
The inhibitory glycine receptor mediates postsynaptic inhibition in the spinal cord and other regions of the central nervous system. It is a pentameric receptor composed solely of alpha subunits. The GLRB gene encodes the alpha subunit of the receptor.[3]
Clinical significance
Mutations in the gene have been associated with hyperekplexia, a neurologic syndrome associated with an exaggerated startle reaction.[4][5]
