This protein enables 2 target(s):

TargetCategoryDefinition
transmitter-gated monoatomic ion channel activity involved in regulation of postsynaptic membrane potentialmolecular functionAny transmitter-gated ion channel activity that is involved in regulation of postsynaptic membrane potential. [GO_REF:0000061, GOC:TermGenie, PMID:20200227]
GABA-gated chloride ion channel activitymolecular functionEnables the transmembrane transfer of a chloride ion by a channel that opens when GABA has been bound by the channel complex or one of its constituent parts. [GOC:mtg_transport, ISBN:0815340729]

Located In

This protein is located in 3 target(s):

TargetCategoryDefinition
plasma membranecellular componentThe membrane surrounding a cell that separates the cell from its external environment. It consists of a phospholipid bilayer and associated proteins. [ISBN:0716731363]
cerebellar Golgi cell to granule cell synapsecellular componentA synapse formed by a cerebellar Golgi cell synapsing on to a cerebellar granule cell. [PMID:26134650]
postsynaptic specialization membranecellular componentThe membrane component of the postsynaptic specialization. This is the region of the postsynaptic membrane in which the population of neurotransmitter receptors involved in synaptic transmission are concentrated. [GOC:dos]

Active In

This protein is active in 5 target(s):

TargetCategoryDefinition
postsynapsecellular componentThe part of a synapse that is part of the post-synaptic cell. [GOC:dos]
dendrite membranecellular componentThe portion of the plasma membrane surrounding a dendrite. [GOC:mah]
plasma membranecellular componentThe membrane surrounding a cell that separates the cell from its external environment. It consists of a phospholipid bilayer and associated proteins. [ISBN:0716731363]
synapsecellular componentThe junction between an axon of one neuron and a dendrite of another neuron, a muscle fiber or a glial cell. As the axon approaches the synapse it enlarges into a specialized structure, the presynaptic terminal bouton, which contains mitochondria and synaptic vesicles. At the tip of the terminal bouton is the presynaptic membrane; facing it, and separated from it by a minute cleft (the synaptic cleft) is a specialized area of membrane on the receiving cell, known as the postsynaptic membrane. In response to the arrival of nerve impulses, the presynaptic terminal bouton secretes molecules of neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft. These diffuse across the cleft and transmit the signal to the postsynaptic membrane. [GOC:aruk, ISBN:0198506732, PMID:24619342, PMID:29383328, PMID:31998110]
neuron projectioncellular componentA prolongation or process extending from a nerve cell, e.g. an axon or dendrite. [GOC:jl, http://www.cogsci.princeton.edu/~wn/]

TargetCategoryDefinition
GABA-A receptor complexcellular componentA protein complex which is capable of GABA-A receptor activity. In human, it is usually composed of either two alpha, two beta and one gamma chain of the GABA-A receptor subunits or 5 chains of the GABA-A receptor subunits rho1-3 (formally known as GABA-C receptor).

Involved In

This protein is involved in 6 target(s):

TargetCategoryDefinition
signal transductionbiological processThe cellular process in which a signal is conveyed to trigger a change in the activity or state of a cell. Signal transduction begins with reception of a signal (e.g. a ligand binding to a receptor or receptor activation by a stimulus such as light), or for signal transduction in the absence of ligand, signal-withdrawal or the activity of a constitutively active receptor. Signal transduction ends with regulation of a downstream cellular process, e.g. regulation of transcription or regulation of a metabolic process. Signal transduction covers signaling from receptors located on the surface of the cell and signaling via molecules located within the cell. For signaling between cells, signal transduction is restricted to events at and within the receiving cell. [GOC:go_curators, GOC:mtg_signaling_feb11]
gamma-aminobutyric acid signaling pathwaybiological processThe series of molecular signals generated by the binding of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA, 4-aminobutyrate), an amino acid which acts as a neurotransmitter in some organisms, to its receptor on the surface of a target cell. [GOC:mah]
synaptic transmission, GABAergicbiological processThe vesicular release of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). from a presynapse, across a chemical synapse, the subsequent activation of GABA receptors at the postsynapse of a target cell (neuron, muscle, or secretory cell) and the effects of this activation on the postsynaptic membrane potential and ionic composition of the postsynaptic cytosol. This process encompasses both spontaneous and evoked release of neurotransmitter and all parts of synaptic vesicle exocytosis. Evoked transmission starts with the arrival of an action potential at the presynapse. [GOC:dos, ISBN:0126603030]
chloride transmembrane transportbiological processThe process in which chloride is transported across a membrane. [GOC:TermGenie, GOC:vw]
regulation of postsynaptic membrane potentialbiological processAny process that modulates the potential difference across a post-synaptic membrane. [GOC:dph, GOC:ef]
inhibitory synapse assemblybiological processThe aggregation, arrangement and bonding together of a set of components to form an inhibitory synapse. [GO_REF:0000079, GOC:bf, GOC:PARL, GOC:TermGenie]
