Function

GLRA1_DANRE Glycine receptors are ligand-gated chloride channels. Channel opening is triggered by extracellular glycine (PubMed:10188956, PubMed:26344198). Plays an important role in the down-regulation of neuronal excitability. Contributes to the generation of inhibitory postsynaptic currents. Channel activity is potentiated by ethanol (By similarity).[UniProtKB:P23415]^[1] ^[2]
