Summary: Predicted to enable extracellular ligand-gated monoatomic ion channel activity and transmembrane signaling receptor activity. Predicted to contribute to chloride channel activity. Predicted to be involved in chloride transmembrane transport. Predicted to be located in plasma membrane. Is expressed in body wall musculature and neurons. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including alcohol dependence; alcohol use disorder; alcoholic liver cirrhosis; amphetamine abuse; and epilepsy (multiple). Orthologous to several human genes including GABRG2 (gamma-aminobutyric acid type A receptor subunit gamma2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jan 2025]
