GABRQ
Encyclopedia
Gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor subunit theta is a protein
that in humans is encoded by theGABRQ gene
. The protein
encoded by this gene is a subunit of the GABAA receptor.
The θ subunit has highest sequence similarity with the β1
subunit. This subunit coassembles with:
Protein
Proteins are biochemical compounds consisting of one or more polypeptides typically folded into a globular or fibrous form, facilitating a biological function. A polypeptide is a single linear polymer chain of amino acids bonded together by peptide bonds between the carboxyl and amino groups of...

Gene
A gene is a molecular unit of heredity of a living organism. It is a name given to some stretches of DNA and RNA that code for a type of protein or for an RNA chain that has a function in the organism. Living beings depend on genes, as they specify all proteins and functional RNA chains...
