Glycine receptor subunit alpha-2 (GLRA2)

Glycine receptors are ligand-gated chloride channels. Channel opening is triggered by extracellular glycine (PubMed:2155780, PubMed:15302677, PubMed:16144831, PubMed:23895467, PubMed:25445488).

Channel opening can be triggered by taurine and beta-alanine (PubMed:15302677). Plays a role in the down-regulation of neuronal excitability.
