Gabrr2 Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables GABA-A receptor activity; protein domain specific binding activity; and transmitter-gated monoatomic ion channel activity. Predicted to be involved in chloride transmembrane transport. Predicted to act upstream of or within gamma-aminobutyric acid signaling pathway and visual perception. Is active in GABA-ergic synapse. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autistic disorder. Orthologous to human GABRR2 (gamma-aminobutyric acid type A receptor subunit rho2).

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 rat Gabrr2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
