Summary
Enables extracellularly glycine-gated chloride channel activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including chloride transport; startle response; and thigmotaxis. Predicted to be located in cell projection and postsynaptic membrane. Predicted to be integral component of membrane. Predicted to be part of chloride channel complex. Predicted to be active in neuron projection and synapse. Predicted to be integral component of plasma membrane. Is expressed in eye; hindbrain; myotome; spinal cord; and telencephalon. Orthologous to human GLRA4 (glycine receptor alpha 4 (pseudogene)). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

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.
