GO Classification
Functions
  • extracellular ligand-gated ion channel activity
  • chloride channel activity
  • glycine binding
  • transmitter-gated ion channel activity
Processes
  • synaptic transmission, glycinergic
  • neuropeptide signaling pathway
  • chloride transmembrane transport
  • response to amino acid
  • regulation of membrane potential
  • neurological system process
Components
  • postsynaptic membrane
  • cell junction
  • integral component of plasma membrane
  • synapse
  • neuron projection
  • chloride channel complex
General FunctionTransmitter-gated ion channel activity
Specific FunctionThe glycine receptor is a neurotransmitter-gated ion channel. Binding of glycine to its receptor increases the chloride conductance and thus produces hyperpolarization (inhibition of neuronal firing).
