Entrez Gene Name: gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) B receptor, 2
Synonyms: FLJ36928, GABA B2, GABABR2, GABBR2, GB2, GBR2, Gm425, GPR51, GPRC3B, HG20, HRIHFB2099

Gene Summary

  • Human (9568): B-type receptors for the neurotransmitter GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) inhibit neuronal activity through G protein-coupled second-messenger systems, which regulate the release of neurotransmitters and the activity of ion channels and adenylyl cyclase. See GABBR1 (MIM 603540) for additional background information on GABA-B receptors.[supplied by OMIM]
  • Rat (83633): combines with GABA-B1 to form functional GABA-B receptors; inhibits high voltage activated calcium ion channels [RGD]
