| Gene Symbol | GABRP |
| Full Name | GABA-A Receptor Pi Subunit |
| Protein Type | Receptor |
| Function | The GABA-A Receptor Pi Subunit (GABRP) encodes the π (pi) subunit of the GABA-A receptor, a ligand-gated chloride channel that mediates inhibitory neurotransmission in the central nervous system 1. |
| Primary Expression | reproductive tissues and brain, where it assembles with other subunits to form receptor isoforms with distinct pharmacological and physiological prope |
