Facts about Glycine receptor subunit beta.
Channel opening is triggered by extracellular glycine (PubMed:8717357, PubMed:15302677, PubMed:16144831, PubMed:22715885, PubMed:25445488, PubMed:11929858, PubMed:23238346). Heteropentameric stations composed of GLRB and GLRA1 are triggered by reduced glycine levels than homopentameric GLRA1 (PubMed:8717357).

Cell junction, synapse, postsynaptic cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Cell junction, synapse. Cell projection, dendrite. Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Cytoplasm. Retained in the cytoplasm upon heterologous expression by itself. Coexpression with GPHN promotes expression at the cell membrane (PubMed:12684523). Coexpression with GLRA1, GLRA2 or GLRA3 promotes expression at the cell membrane.
