GABRB2 gamma-aminobutyric acid type A receptor subunit beta2 [ Homo sapiens (human) ]
Source: NCBI Gene (ID 2561)

Symbol: GABRB2

Full name: gamma-aminobutyric acid type A receptor subunit beta2

Gene type: protein coding

RefSeq status: REVIEWED

Also known as: DEE92; ICEE2

Summary: 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 2 subunit. It is mapped to chromosome 5q34 in a cluster comprised of genes encoding alpha 1 and gamma 2 subunits of the GABA A receptor. Alternative splicing of this gene generates 2 transcript variants, differing by a 114 bp insertion. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
