Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid Type A Receptor Alpha5 Subunit or GABA(A) Receptor, Alpha 5 is encoded by the gene GABRA5. GABAA receptors are members of the Cys-loop family of ligand-gated ion channels. GABA AR alpha 5 is a subunit of the pentameric GABA receptors where GABA is the major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the vertebrate brain and mediates neuronal inhibition by binding to the GABA receptor and opening an integral chloride channel. GABA AR alpha5 is highly expressed in brain at the cell junction, synapse, postsynaptic cell membrane and cytoplasmic vesicle membrane. Disorders involving the GABRA5 gene include Angelman Syndrome, Prader-willi syndrome and childhood absence epilepsy.
