Rabbit Anti-GLRB/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
GLRB (Glycine receptor beta) is a neurotransmitter-gated ion channel concentrated within the spinal cord and brainstem. Expression is also observed in several upper brain regions including the cortex, cerebellum, hippocampus and amygdala. Binding of glycine to GLRB increases the chloride conductance and thus produces hyperpolarization (inhibition of neuronal firing), controlling spinal reflexes and locomotor behavior.
Function:
The glycine receptor is a neurotransmitter-gated ion channel. Binding of glycine to its receptor increases the chloride conductance and thus produces hyperpolarization (inhibition of neuronal firing).
Subunit:
Pentamer composed of alpha and beta subunits. Interacts with GPHN
Subcellular Location:
Plasma membrane; multi-pass membrane protein.
DISEASE:
Defects in GLRB are the cause of hyperekplexia type 2 (HKPX2) [MIM:614619]. HKPX2 is a neurologic disorder characterized by muscular rigidity of central nervous system origin, particularly in the neonatal period, and by an exaggerated startle response to unexpected acoustic or tactile2 stimuli.
Similarity:
Belongs to the ligand-gated ion channel (TC 1.A.9) family. Glycine receptor (TC 1.A.9.3) subfamily. GLRB sub-subfamily.
