(Redirected from GABBR1)

Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid Type B Receptor Subunit 1 or GABBR1 is a protein encoding gene that has neurotransmitter effects.[1]

Alternative names[edit | edit source]

  • GPRC3A
  • GABA B Receptor, 1[1]

Function[edit | edit source]

GABBR1 encodes a receptor for GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid), which is the main inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system of humans.[1]

Diseases[edit | edit source]

Defects in this gene may be linked to:

  • Epilepsy
  • Schizophrenia

Other diseases that may be associated with GABBR1 include:

  • Temporal Lobe Epilepsy
  • Childhood Absence Epilepsy[2]

Drugs[edit | edit source]

ME/CFS[edit | edit source]
