Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionglc-2 encodes the beta subunit of a glutamate-gated chloride channel; in vivo, GLC-2 is capable of forming homomeric glutamate-activated channels, as well as heteromeric channels with GLC-1 that can be activated by glutamate and avermectins, antihelmintics that inhibit pharyngeal pumping; as loss of glc-2 activity via large-scale RNAi screens does not result in any obvious abnormalities, the precise role of GLC-2 in development and/or behavior is not yet known; however, GLC-2 expression is generally restricted to the pm4 pharyngeal muscles of larvae and adults, suggesting a role for GLC-2 in regulation of glutamatergic inhibition of pharyngeal pumping.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00002049

Automated_descriptionEnables extracellularly glutamate-gated chloride channel activity. Involved in chloride transmembrane transport. Located in plasma membrane. Expressed in pm4. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hyperekplexia 1 and syndromic X-linked intellectual disability Pilorge type. Is an ortholog of human GLRA1 (glycine receptor alpha 1); GLRA2 (glycine receptor alpha 2); and GLRA3 (glycine receptor alpha 3).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943

Remarksequence connection from [Vassilatis DK]
Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.CGC_data_submission
