GO Classification
Functions
extracellularly glycine-gated chloride channel activity / glycine-gated chloride ion channel activity / metal ion binding / neurotransmitter receptor activity / transmembrane signaling receptor activity
Processes
protein homooligomerization
Components
dendrite / glycine-gated chloride channel complex / intracellular membrane-bounded organelle / perikaryon / transmembrane transporter complex
General Function
Glycine receptors are ligand-gated chloride channels. Channel opening is triggered by extracellular glycine (PubMed:26416729, PubMed:9677400). Channel characteristics depend on the subunit composition; heteropentameric channels display faster channel closure (By similarity). Plays an important role in the down-regulation of neuronal excitability (By similarity). Contributes to the generation of inhibitory postsynaptic currents (By similarity). Contributes to increased pain perception in response to increased prostaglandin E2 levels (By similarity). Plays a role in cellular responses to ethanol (By similarity)
