GABRA3
geneOn this page
Summary
GABRA3 (gamma-aminobutyric acid type A receptor subunit alpha3, HGNC:4077) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome Xq28, encoding Gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor subunit alpha-3 (P34903). Alpha subunit of the heteropentameric ligand-gated chloride channel gated by gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), a major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain.
GABA is the major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the mammalian brain where it acts at GABA-A receptors, which are ligand-gated chloride channels. Chloride conductance of these channels can be modulated by agents such as benzodiazepines that bind to the GABA-A receptor. At least 16 distinct subunits of GABA-A receptors have been identified.

Gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor subunit alpha-3 — P34903 (reviewed: P34903)
Alternative names: GABA(A) receptor subunit alpha-3
All UniProt accessions (1): P34903
UniProt curated annotations — full annotation on UniProt →
Function. Alpha subunit of the heteropentameric ligand-gated chloride channel gated by gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), a major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain. GABA-gated chloride channels, also named GABA(A) receptors (GABAAR), consist of five subunits arranged around a central pore and contain GABA active binding site(s) located at the alpha and beta subunit interface(s). When activated by GABA, GABAARs selectively allow the flow of chloride anions across the cell membrane down their electrochemical gradient. Chloride influx into the postsynaptic neuron following GABAAR opening decreases the neuron ability to generate a new action potential, thereby reducing nerve transmission.
Subunit / interactions. Heteropentamer, formed by a combination of alpha (GABRA1-6), beta (GABRB1-3), gamma (GABRG1-3), delta (GABRD), epsilon (GABRE), rho (GABRR1-3), pi (GABRP) and theta (GABRQ) chains, each subunit exhibiting distinct physiological and pharmacological properties. Binds UBQLN1. Interacts with GPHN.
Subcellular location. Postsynaptic cell membrane. Cell membrane.
Disease relevance. Epilepsy, X-linked 2, with or without impaired intellectual development and dysmorphic features (EPILX2) [MIM:301091] A neurologic disorder characterized by variable combinations of epileptic seizure, and a varying degree of intellectual disability and developmental delay. Some patients have dysmorphic facial features or mild skeletal anomalies. In general, males are more severely affected than females, although there is evidence for incomplete penetrance in both sexes. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Activity regulation. Potentiated by etomidate, propofol, pregnanolone and flurazepam.
Domain organisation. GABAARs subunits share a common topological structure: a peptide sequence made up of a long extracellular N-terminal, four transmembrane domains, intracellular or cytoplasmic domain located between the third and the fourth transmembrane domains.
Similarity. Belongs to the ligand-gated ion channel (TC 1.A.9) family. Gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor (TC 1.A.9.5) subfamily. GABRA3 sub-subfamily.
