    Summary
    Predicted to enable excitatory extracellular ligand-gated monoatomic ion channel activity and neurotransmitter receptor activity. Predicted to contribute to chloride channel activity. Involved in gamma-aminobutyric acid signaling pathway; locomotory behavior; and regulation of backward locomotion. Located in neuromuscular junction and postsynaptic membrane. Is expressed in AVA; anal sphincter muscle; body wall musculature; and somatic nervous system. Used to study epilepsy. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]
