GABRB3
gene geneOn this page
Summary
GABRB3 (gamma-aminobutyric acid type A receptor subunit beta3, HGNC:4083) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 15q12, encoding Gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor subunit beta-3 (P28472). Beta subunit of the heteropentameric ligand-gated chloride channel gated by gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), a major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain.
This gene encodes a member of the ligand-gated ionic channel family. The encoded protein is one the subunits of a multi-subunit chloride channel that serves as the receptor for gamma-aminobutyric acid, a major inhibitory neurotransmitter of the mammalian nervous system. This gene is located on the long arm of chromosome 15 in a cluster with two other genes encoding related subunits of the family. This gene may be associated with the pathogenesis of several disorders including Angelman syndrome, Prader-Willi syndrome, nonsyndromic orofacial clefts, epilepsy and autism. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been described.

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). GABAARs containing beta-3/GABRB3 subunit are found at both synaptic and extrasynaptic sites. 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-3 subunits exhibit synaptogenic activity; the gamma-2 subunit being necessary but not sufficient to induce rapid synaptic contacts formation. Extrasynaptic beta-3 receptors contribute to the tonic GABAergic inhibition. GABAARs containing alpha-1, beta-3 and epsilon subunits may also permit spontaneous chloride channel activity while preserving the structural information required for GABA-gated openings. 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. Plays an important role in somatosensation and in the production of antinociception.
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. Can form functional homopentamers (in vitro). Interacts with UBQLN1. May interact with KIF21B. Identified in a complex of 720 kDa composed of LHFPL4, NLGN2, GABRA1, GABRB2, GABRG2 and GABRB3. Interacts with LHFPL4. Interacts with GIT1; this interaction is required for synaptic GABRB3 surface stability and inhibitory synapse strength.
Subcellular location. Postsynaptic cell membrane. Cell membrane. Cytoplasmic vesicle membrane.
Disease relevance. Epilepsy, childhood absence 5 (ECA5) [MIM:612269] A subtype of idiopathic generalized epilepsy characterized by an onset at age 6-7 years, frequent absence seizures (several per day) and bilateral, synchronous, symmetric 3-Hz spike waves on EEG. Tonic-clonic seizures often develop in adolescence. Absence seizures may either remit or persist into adulthood. Disease susceptibility is associated with variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 43 (DEE43) [MIM:617113] A form of epileptic encephalopathy, a heterogeneous group of severe early-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. DEE43 inheritance is autosomal dominant. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Activity regulation. Potentiated by histamine.
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.
Polymorphism. GABRB3 variants may be associated with insomnia, a condition of inability to initiate or maintain sleep [MIM:137192].
Similarity. Belongs to the ligand-gated ion channel (TC 1.A.9) family. Gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor (TC 1.A.9.5) subfamily. GABRB3 sub-subfamily.

Drugs by curated mechanism of action (ChEMBL)
Drugs whose curated ChEMBL mechanism of action targets the GABRB3 protein itself — single-protein targets only (drugs acting on a protein family or complex that merely includes it are excluded). Includes antibodies and oligonucleotides that bioactivity screening does not capture.
1 curated-mechanism drugs:
| Drug | Modality | Max phase |
|---|---|---|
| ETAZOLATE | Small molecule | 2 |
Drugs acting on a complex or family that includes this protein
Curated ChEMBL mechanism-of-action drugs whose target is a protein complex or family of ≤10 members that includes GABRB3 — the drug acts on the assembly or class, not necessarily on this subunit alone.
2 drugs via a complex or family:
| Drug | Target (ChEMBL) | Members | Max phase |

Phase ≥1, by development phase (incl. off-target/promiscuous compounds). Patent mentions across the top 20 by phase: 440,023 (via chembl_molecule»patent_compound — counts attach to the compound, not the gene–compound relationship, so off-target/promiscuous molecules can dominate).
