GABRA2 is a gene that encodes a subunit of the gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptor, specifically the GABA-A receptor. GABA receptors are critical for inhibitory neurotransmission in the brain, playing a key role in regulating neuronal excitability and maintaining the balance between excitation and inhibition in the central nervous system. The GABRA2 gene is involved in various functions, including modulation of anxiety, sedation, and the development of certain neurological and psychiatric disorders.
