Entrez Gene Number	NM_000809.2
Entrez Gene Summary	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.
Gene Symbol	GABRA4 GABA
UniProt Number	P48169
UniProt Summary	FUNCTION: SwissProt: P48169 # GABA, the major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the vertebrate brain, mediates neuronal inhibition by binding to the GABA/benzodiazepine receptor and opening an integral chloride channel. SIZE: 554 amino acids; 61640 Da SUBUNIT: Generally pentameric. There are five types of GABA(A) receptor chains: alpha, beta, gamma, delta, and rho. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cell junction, synapse, postsynaptic cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. SIMILARITY: SwissProt: P48169 ## Belongs to the ligand-gated ionic channel (TC 1.A.9) family.

mRNA and protein levels for GABAAalpha4, alpha5, beta1 and GABABR1 receptors are altered in brains from subjects with autism. Fatemi, SH; Reutiman, TJ; Folsom, TD; Rooney, RJ; Patel, DH; Thuras, PD Journal of autism and developmental disorders 40 743-50 2010 Show Abstract We have shown altered expression of gamma-aminobutyric acid A (GABA(A)) and gamma-aminobutyric acid B (GABA(B)) receptors in the brains of subjects with autism. In the current study, we sought to verify our western blotting data for GABBR1 via qRT-PCR and to expand our previous work to measure mRNA and protein levels of 3 GABA(A) subunits previously associated with autism (GABRalpha4; GABRalpha5; GABRbeta1). Three GABA receptor subunits demonstrated mRNA and protein level concordance in superior frontal cortex (GABRalpha4, GABRalpha5, GABRbeta1) and one demonstrated concordance in cerebellum (GABBetaR1). These results provide further evidence of impairment of GABAergic signaling in autism.	20066485
