function:GABA, the major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the vertebrate brain, mediates neuronal inhibition by binding to the GABA/benzodiazepine receptor and opening an integral chloride channel.,similarity:Belongs to the ligand-gated ionic channel (TC 1.A.9) family.,subunit:Generally pentameric. Associates with alpha and beta subunits.,tissue specificity:Expressed in many tissues. Highest levels of expression in adult heart and placenta.,
