The glycine receptor is a neurotransmitter-gated ion channel. Glycine is an important inhibitory transmitter in the brainstem and spinal cord. Binding of glycine to its receptor increases the chloride conductance and thus produces hyperpolarization. The alpha-1 subunit of the glycine receptor is a ligand-gated chloride channel. This inhibitory glycine receptor mediates postsynaptic inhibition in the spinal cord and other regions of the central nervous system. It is a pentameric receptor composed of alpha and beta subunits. Defects in alpha 1 Glycine Receptor are implicated in the pathophysiology of startle disease (STHE). GenScript alpha 1 Glycine Receptor Antibody, pAb, Rabbit is developed in rabbit using a KLH-coupled synthetic peptide from N-terminal of human alpha 1 Glycine Receptor (Swiss Prot: P23415).
