Gabbr1 Gene Summary [Rat]

Enables G protein-coupled GABA receptor activity; extracellular matrix protein binding activity; and protein heterodimerization activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of adenylate cyclase activity; neuron-glial cell signaling; and regulation of secretion. Acts upstream of or within adenylate cyclase-inhibiting G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway. Located in several cellular components, including axolemma; dendrite; and synaptic vesicle. Part of GABA receptor complex. Is active in GABA-ergic synapse; glutamatergic synapse; and synaptic membrane. Used to study alcohol dependence. Biomarker of hypertension. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in alcohol dependence; amphetamine abuse; cocaine dependence; heroin dependence; and nicotine dependence. Orthologous to human GABBR1 (gamma-aminobutyric acid type B receptor subunit 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]
