GABRA5 is a gene that encodes the alpha-5 subunit of the gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) type A receptor (GABAAR). GABAARs are integral membrane proteins that mediate the inhibitory neurotransmitter effects of GABA in the brain. The GABAAR is a pentameric structure, meaning it is composed of five subunits, which can be a combination of different types of subunits (alpha, beta, gamma, etc.).
