{wiki=GLRA3}
GLRA3, or Glycine receptor alpha-3, is a protein that is part of the glycine receptor family. Glycine receptors are ligand-gated ion channels that primarily mediate inhibitory neurotransmission in the central nervous system. Specifically, GLRA3 is one of the subunits that compose these receptors, where it plays a role in facilitating the flow of chloride ions into neurons when glycine, an amino acid that acts as an inhibitory neurotransmitter, binds to the receptor.
