Gabra3 - gamma-aminobutyric acid type A receptor subunit alpha 3

Enables GABA-A receptor activity and transmitter-gated ion channel activity involved in regulation of postsynaptic membrane potential. Involved in chemical synaptic transmission. Is active in GABA-ergic synapse. Is integral component of postsynaptic specialization membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in bipolar disorder and multiple sclerosis. Orthologous to human GABRA3 (gamma-aminobutyric acid type A receptor subunit alpha3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
