Synonym Names for GABRA1 antibody: GABRA1; EJM; GABA(A) receptor subunit alpha-1; Gammaaminobutyric acid (GABA) A receptor, alpha 1; Gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor subunit alpha-1
GABA is the major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the mammalian brain where it acts at GABA-A receptors. which
are ligand-gated chloride channels. Chloride conductance of these channels can be modulated by agents such as
benzodiazepines that bind to the GA
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.
Subunit: Binds UBQLN1 (By similarity). Generally pentameric. There are five types of GABA(A) receptor chains:
alpha, beta, gamma, delta, and rho.
Subcellular Location: Cell junction, synapse, postsynaptic cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Cell
membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.
Disease: Defects in GABRA1 are a cause of juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME) [MIM:606904]. JME is a common
epileptic syndrome characterized by afebrile seizures, onset in adolescence (rather than in childhood) and
myoclonic jerks.
Disease: Defects in GABRA1 are the cause of childhood absence epilepsy type 4 (ECA4) [MIM:611136]. ECA4 is
a subtype of idiopathic generalized epilepsy (IGE) characterized by onset at age 6-7 years, frequent absence
seizures (several per day) and bilateral, synchronous, symmetric 3-Hz spike waves on EEG. During adolescence,
tonic-clonic and myoclonic seizures develop. Absence seizures may either remit or persist into adulthood.
Similarity: Belongs to the ligand-gated ionic channel (TC 1.A.9) family [view classification].
Summary: GABA is the major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the mammalian brain where it acts at GABA-A
receptors, which are ligand-gated chloride channels. Chloride conductance of these channels can be modulated by
agents such as benzodiazepines that bind to the GABA-A receptor. At least 16 distinct subunits of GABA-A
receptors have been identified.
GABRA1 (gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) A receptor. alpha 1) reacts with human.
