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]
- Baclofenac targets GABBR1 and GABBR2.[2]
