Entrez gene summary

The protein encoded by this gene is a subunit of a pentameric inhibitory glycine receptor. The receptor mediates postsynaptic inhibition in the central nervous system. Defects in this gene are a cause of startle disease (STHE), also known as hereditary hyperekplexia or congenital stiff-person syndrome. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Mar 2009]

Staining summary

A majority of the normal tissues displayed moderate cytoplasmic positivity often combined with membranous staining. Monocyte derived cells, bile ducts and trophoblasts in placenta were distinctly stained. Cells of the gastrointestinal tract, myocytes, squamous epithelia, hepatocytes and neuronal tissues were generally negative.
