Function
Theta subunit of the heteropentameric ligand-gated chloride channel gated by gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA);a major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain. GABA-gated chloride channels;also named GABA(A) receptors (GABAAR);consist of five subunits arranged around a central pore and contain GABA active binding site(s) located at the alpha and beta subunit interfaces (By similarity). When activated by GABA;GABAARs selectively allow the flow of chloride anions across the cell membrane down their electrochemical gradient.
