GLRA2 [ENSP00000218075]

Glycine receptor subunit alpha-2; Glycine receptors are ligand-gated chloride channels. Channel opening is triggered by extracellular glycine (PubMed:2155780, PubMed:15302677, PubMed:16144831, PubMed:23895467, PubMed:25445488). Channel opening is also triggered by taurine and beta-alanine . Plays a role in the down-regulation of neuronal excitability. Contributes to the generation of inhibitory postsynaptic currents . Plays a role in cellular responses to ethanol . ECO:0000269|PubMed:16144831, ECO:0000269|PubMed:2155780,
