GABRB1 gamma-aminobutyric acid type A receptor subunit beta1

Gene ID: 2560, updated on 13-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: DEE45; EIEE45

Summary

The gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) A receptor is a multisubunit chloride channel that mediates the fastest inhibitory synaptic transmission in the central nervous system. This gene encodes GABA A receptor, beta 1 subunit. It is mapped to chromosome 4p12 in a cluster comprised of genes encoding alpha 4, alpha 2 and gamma 1 subunits of the GABA A receptor. Alteration of this gene is implicated in the pathogenetics of schizophrenia. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
