Human Gene GABRA3 (uc010ntk.1) Description and Page Index
Description: Homo sapiens gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) A receptor, alpha 3 (GABRA3), mRNA. RefSeq Summary (NM_000808): 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. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]. Publication Note: This RefSeq record includes a subset of the publications that are available for this gene.

The results of our study indicate that GABRA 3 gene might also be involved in the genetic pathophysiology of unipolar major depressive disorder (at least in female patients), even if the findings do not support a predominant role of GABRA 3.

These results suggest the GABRA3 gene may be a risk factor for MS. As with the DRD2 gene, the effect may be mediated through its regulation of prolactin release.
