Gabra6 - gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) A receptor, subunit alpha 6

Enables transmitter-gated ion channel activity involved in regulation of postsynaptic membrane potential. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including GABAergic synaptic transmission; chloride transmembrane transport; and gamma-aminobutyric acid signaling pathway. Predicted to act upstream of or within chloride transport. Is active in cerebellar Golgi cell to granule cell synapse. Is expressed in central nervous system and retina. Orthologous to human GABRA6 (gamma-aminobutyric acid type A receptor subunit alpha6). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
