Gabrb3 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables GABA-A receptor activity and transmitter-gated monoatomic ion channel activity involved in regulation of postsynaptic membrane potential. Contributes to GABA-gated chloride ion channel activity. Involved in several processes, including chloride transmembrane transport; inner ear development; and nervous system development. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cellular response to zinc ion; circadian sleep/wake cycle, REM sleep; and learning or memory. Part of GABA-A receptor complex. Is active in GABA-ergic synapse and cell surface. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; eye; jaw; and olfactory epithelium. Used to study autism spectrum disorder. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in alcohol dependence; alcohol use disorder; childhood absence epilepsy; developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 43; and heroin dependence. Orthologous to human GABRB3 (gamma-aminobutyric acid type A receptor subunit beta3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Gabrb3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
