Gabre Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables GABA-A receptor activity and transmitter-gated monoatomic ion channel activity involved in regulation of postsynaptic membrane potential. Involved in gamma-aminobutyric acid signaling pathway and response to xenobiotic stimulus. Is active in GABA-ergic synapse and postsynaptic membrane. Orthologous to human GABRE (gamma-aminobutyric acid type A receptor subunit epsilon). [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 rat Gabre often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
