Name | GLRB |
---|---|
Function | Glycine receptors are ligand-gated chloride channels. GLRB does not form ligand-gated ion channels by itself, but is part of heteromeric ligand-gated chloride channels. Channel opening is triggered by extracellular glycine (PubMed:8717357, PubMed:15302677, PubMed:16144831, PubMed:22715885, PubMed:25445488, PubMed:11929858, PubMed:23238346, PubMed:34473954). Heteropentameric channels composed of GLRB and GLRA1 are activated by lower glycine levels than homopentameric GLRA1 (PubMed:8717357). Plays an important role in the down-regulation of neuronal excitability (PubMed:11929858, PubMed:23238346). Contributes to the generation of inhibitory postsynaptic currents (PubMed:25445488). |

Background
This gene encodes the beta subunit of the glycinereceptor, which is a pentamer composed of alpha and beta subunits.The receptor functions as a neurotransmitter-gated ion channel,which produces hyperpolarization via increased chloride conductancedue to the binding of glycine to the receptor. Mutations in thisgene cause startle disease, also known as hereditary hyperekplexiaor congenital stiff-person syndrome, a disease characterized bymuscular rigidity. Alternative splicing results in multipletranscript variants.
