    Summary
    Enables extracellularly glycine-gated chloride channel activity. Involved in chloride transmembrane transport and response to amino acid. Located in plasma membrane. Is active in glycinergic synapse and postsynaptic specialization membrane. Is expressed in brain. 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.
