Canonical gene details GABRA3 uc010ntk.1

Description: gamma-aminobutyric acid A receptor, alpha 3
RefSeq Summary (NM_000808): GABA is the major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the mammalian brain where it acts at GABA-A receptors, which are ligand-gated chloride channels. Chloride conductance of these channels can be modulated by agents such as benzodiazepines that bind to the GABA-A receptor. At least 16 distinct subunits of GABA-A receptors have been identified.
Alternate Gene Symbols: GBRA3_HUMAN, NM_000808, NP_000799, P34903, Q8TAF9

Comments to gene symbols can now be added to the Wiki track. Enter this functionality via the UCSC genes details page User annotations link in the section Sequence and Links to Tools and Databases.

The initial wiki article text will include the description comments as seen in the details page. Thus, if the item is found by browsing wiki pages, it will have some information about the gene being annotated. Also, the wiki article will refer back to the genome browser via generic links referencing only the gene name and organism. Therefore, the wiki article links should function even if the genome browser changes, assuming the same genes can be found in the newer assembly.
