Description: Homo sapiens gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) A receptor, gamma 1 (GABRG1), mRNA. RefSeq Summary (NM_173536): The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the ligand-gated ionic channel family. It is an integral membrane protein and plays an important role in inhibiting neurotransmission by binding to the benzodiazepine receptor and opening an integral chloride channel. This gene is clustered with three other family members on chromosome 4. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]. Transcript (Including UTRs) Position: hg19 chr4:46,037,787-46,126,082 Size: 88,296 Total Exon Count: 9 Strand: - Coding Region Position: hg19 chr4:46,043,005-46,125,930 Size: 82,926 Coding Exon Count: 9
ID:GBRG1_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor subunit gamma-1; AltName: Full=GABA(A) receptor subunit gamma-1; Flags: Precursor; FUNCTION: 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. 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. Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. PTM: May be palmitoylated (By similarity). MISCELLANEOUS: This subunit carries the benzodiazepine binding site. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the ligand-gated ion channel (TC 1.A.9) family. Gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor (TC 1.A.9.5) subfamily. GABRG1 sub-subfamily. WEB RESOURCE: Name=Protein Spotlight; Note=Forbidden fruit - Issue 56 of March 2005; URL="http://web.expasy.org/spotlight/back_issues/sptlt056.shtml";

These results of genome-wide association testing for blood pressure and arterial stiffness phenotypes in an unselected community-based sample of adults may aid in the identification of the genetic basis of hypertension and arterial disease, help identify high risk individuals, and guide novel therapies for hypertension. Additional studies are needed to replicate any associations identified in these analyses.

[PubMed 17903303]
The results from this GWAS generate hypotheses regarding several SNPs that may be associated with SCA phenotypes in multiple arterial beds. Given the number of tests conducted, subsequent independent replication in a staged approach is essential to identify genetic variants that may be implicated in atherosclerosis.

[PubMed 17903295]
Longevity and aging traits are associated with SNPs on the Affymetrix 100K GeneChip. None of the associations achieved genome-wide significance. These data generate hypotheses and serve as a resource for replication as more genes and biologic pathways are proposed as contributing to longevity and healthy aging.
The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
