Protein function (UniProt)

Glycine receptor subunit alpha-1

Subunit of heteromeric glycine-gated chloride channels (PubMed:14551753, PubMed:23994010, PubMed:25730860, PubMed:37821459). Plays an important role in the down-regulation of neuronal excitability (PubMed:8298642, PubMed:9009272). Contributes to the generation of inhibitory postsynaptic currents (PubMed:25445488). Channel activity is potentiated by ethanol (PubMed:25973519). Potentiation of channel activity by intoxicating levels of ethanol contribute to the sedative effects of ethanol (By similarity)
