Summary: Predicted to enable extracellularly glycine-gated chloride channel activity. Predicted to contribute to chloride channel activity. Predicted to be involved in chloride transmembrane transport and response to amino acid. Predicted to be located in plasma membrane. Predicted to be part of chloride channel complex. Predicted to be active in glycinergic synapse and postsynaptic specialization membrane. Orthologous to human GLRA4 (glycine receptor alpha 4 (pseudogene)).

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.
