Summary

GABRB2 (gamma-aminobutyric acid type A receptor subunit beta2, HGNC:4082) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 5q34, encoding Gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor subunit beta-2 (P47870). Beta subunit of the heteropentameric ligand-gated chloride channel gated by gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), a major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain.

The gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) A receptor is a multisubunit chloride channel that mediates the fastest inhibitory synaptic transmission in the central nervous system. This gene encodes GABA A receptor, beta 2 subunit. It is mapped to chromosome 5q34 in a cluster comprised of genes encoding alpha 1 and gamma 2 subunits of the GABA A receptor. Alternative splicing of this gene generates 2 transcript variants, differing by a 114 bp insertion.

Function. Beta 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. GABAARs containing alpha-1 and beta-2 or -3 subunits exhibit synaptogenic activity; the gamma-2 subunit being necessary but not sufficient to induce rapid synaptic contacts formation. Extrasynaptic beta-2 receptors contribute to the tonic GABAergic inhibition. Beta-containing GABAARs can simultaneously bind GABA and histamine where histamine binds at the interface of two neighboring beta subunits, which may be involved in the regulation of sleep and wakefulness.

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. Interacts with UBQLN1. May interact with KIF21B. Identified in a complex of 720 kDa composed of LHFPL4, NLGN2, GABRA1, GABRB2, GABRG2 and GABRB3.

Subcellular location. Postsynaptic cell membrane. Cell membrane. Cytoplasmic vesicle membrane.

Tissue specificity. Isoform 1 and isoform 2 show reduced expression in schizophrenic brain. Isoform 3 shows increased expression in schizophrenic and bipolar disorder brains while isoform 4 shows reduced expression.

Disease relevance. Epileptic encephalopathy, infantile or early childhood, 2 (IECEE2) [MIM:617829] A form of epileptic encephalopathy, a heterogeneous group of severe childhood onset epilepsies characterized by refractory seizures, neurodevelopmental impairment, and poor prognosis. Development is normal prior to seizure onset, after which cognitive and motor delays become apparent. IECEE2 is an autosomal dominant condition with variable age at seizure onset, ranging from early infancy to 6 years. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Activity regulation. Allosterically activated by benzodiazepines. Allosterically activated by the anesthetic etomidate. Inhibited by the antagonist bicuculline. Potentiated by histamine.

Domain organisation. The extracellular domain contributes to synaptic contact formation. 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. GABRB2 sub-subfamily.

Per-variant reference — Sugi Variant

Explore GABRB2’s pathogenic and likely-pathogenic variants individually — each with its ClinVar classification and conditions, applied ACMG criteria (ClinGen expert panel, where curated), the calibrated in-silico predictors (AlphaMissense, REVEL, SaProt, conservation), gnomAD frequency, and the predictor-disagreement QC signal — on Sugi Variant.
