Gene information for GABRG2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID2566
Official gene symbolGABRG2
Full namegamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) A receptor, gamma 2
Aliases,CAE2,ECA2,GEFSP3,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptor. GABA is the major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the mammlian brain, where it acts at GABA-A receptors, which are ligand-gated chloride channels. GABA-A receptors are pentameric, consisting of proteins from several subunit classes: alpha, beta, gamma, delta and rho. Mutations in this gene have been associated with epilepsy and febrile seizures. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified for this gene. [provided by RefSeq]
