Human Gene GABRP (ENST00000518525.5) from GENCODE V44
Description: GABA, the major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the vertebrate brain, mediates neuronal inhibition by binding to the GABA/benzodiazepine receptor and opening an integral chloride channel. In the uterus, the function of the receptor appears to be related to tissue contractility. The binding of this pI subunit with other GABA(A) receptor subunits alters the sensitivity of recombinant receptors to modulatory agents such as pregnanolone. (from UniProt O00591) RefSeq Summary (NM_014211): The gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) A receptor is a multisubunit chloride channel that mediates the fastest inhibitory synaptic transmission in the central nervous system. The subunit encoded by this gene is expressed in several non-neuronal tissues including the uterus and ovaries. This subunit can assemble with known GABA A receptor subunits, and the presence of this subunit alters the sensitivity of recombinant receptors to modulatory agents such as pregnanolone. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, May 2014]. Gencode Transcript: ENST00000518525.5 Gencode Gene: ENSG00000094755.17 Transcript (Including UTRs) Position: hg38 chr5:170,782,682-170,814,047 Size: 31,366 Total Exon Count: 11 Strand: + Coding Region Position: hg38 chr5:170,788,616-170,812,258 Size: 23,643 Coding Exon Count: 9
ID:GBRP_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor subunit pi; AltName: Full=GABA(A) receptor subunit pi; Flags: Precursor; FUNCTION: GABA, the major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the vertebrate brain, mediates neuronal inhibition by binding to the GABA/benzodiazepine receptor and opening an integral chloride channel. In the uterus, the function of the receptor appears to be related to tissue contractility. The binding of this pI subunit with other GABA(A) receptor subunits alters the sensitivity of recombinant receptors to modulatory agents such as pregnanolone. SUBUNIT: Generally pentameric. There are five types of GABA(A) receptor chains: alpha, beta, gamma, delta, and epsilon. A sixth class of subunit: Rho form homomeric GABA receptors that do not appear to coexist with GABA(A) receptor subunits but with GABA(C) receptor subunits. Subunit Pi can also bind this complex. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cell junction, synapse, postsynaptic cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Most abundant in the uterus, also expressed in lung, thymus and prostate. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the ligand-gated ion channel (TC 1.A.9) family. Gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor (TC 1.A.9.5) subfamily. GABRP sub-subfamily.
The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
