The gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) A receptor is a multisubunit chloride channel that mediates the fastest inhibitory synaptic transmission in the central nervous system. This gene encodes GABA A receptor, beta 1 subunit. It is mapped to chromosome 4p12 in a cluster comprised of genes encoding a 4, a 2 and gamma 1 subunits of the GABA A receptor. Alteration of this gene is implicated in the pathogenetics of schizophrenia.Collins AL, et al. (2006) Neurogenetics ;7(3):167-174.Ma DQ, et al. (2005) Am J Hum Genet ;77(3):377-388.Edenberg HJ, et al. (2004) Am J Hum Genet ;74(4):705-714.

Species
Homo Sapiens (Human)
Specificity
The antibody detects endogenous level of total GABRB1 protein.
Component of the heteropentameric receptor for GABA, the major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the vertebrate brain. Functions also as histamine receptor and mediates cellular responses to histamine. Functions as receptor for diazepines and various anesthetics, such as pentobarbital; these are bound at a separate allosteric effector binding site. Functions as ligand-gated chloride channel.
