Alternative Name: GABRA3

Background: Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is the primary inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system. There are two major classes of GABA receptors: the GABAA and the GABAB subtype of receptors. GABAA-Rs are important therapeutic targets for a range of sedative, anxiolytic, and hypnotic agents and are implicated in several diseases including epilepsy, anxiety, depression, and sub-stance abuse. The GABAA-R is a multimeric subunit complex. To date six Alpha's, four Beta's and four Gamma's, plus alternative splicing variants of some of these subunits, have been identified (Olsen and Tobin, 1990, Whiting et al., 1999, Ogris et al., 2004). Injection in oocytes or mammalian cell lines of cRNA coding for Alpha- and beta-subunits results in the expression of functional GABAA-Rs sensitive to GABA. However, coexpression of a Gamma-subunit is required for benzodiazepine modulation. The various effects of the benzodiazepines in brain may also be mediated via different Alpha-subunits of the receptor (McKernan et al., 2000, Mehta and Ticku, 1998, Ogris et al., 2004, Pöltl et al., 2003).Synonyms: GABA A Receptor subunit alpha-3, GABRA-3, Gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor subunit alpha-3
