GABA A (gamma-aminobutyric acid-type A) receptors are members of the cysteine-loop family of neurotransmitter-gated ion channels.
GABA binding to A-type receptors induces anion-selective ion channel opening.
These receptors are the principal fast inhibitory neurotransmitter receptors in the CNS.
GABA A receptors are heteropentamer combinations of seven subunit types; alpha, beta, gamma, delta, epsilon, theta, and pi.
Three subunits, alpha, beta, and gamma, have at least three separate gene products in mammals, and typical GABA A receptors have some combination of alpha, beta and gamma subunits.
The rat alpha 6 isoform is a 57kD, 434, 4 transmembrane protein with two terminal extracellular regions.
The ligand-binding region is in the N-terminus (aa14-221).
The expression of the subunit is strongly associated with cerebellar granule cells.
The alpha 6 subunit has also been linked to alcohol sensitivity, possible due to a point mutation substitution of arginine for a glutamine at aa position 81 in the extracellular N-terminus.
