Processes
  • chloride transmembrane transport
  • response to amino acid
  • regulation of membrane potential
  • neurological system process
  • neuropeptide signaling pathway
  • gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor clustering
  • synaptic transmission, glycinergic
  • transmembrane transport
  • ion transmembrane transport
Components
  • postsynaptic membrane
  • chloride channel complex
  • plasma membrane
  • cell junction
  • external side of plasma membrane

  • neuron projection
General FunctionTransmitter-gated ion channel activity
Specific FunctionThe glycine receptor is a neurotransmitter-gated ion channel. Binding of glycine to its receptor increases the chloride conductance and thus produces hyperpolarization (inhibition of neuronal firing).
