GLRA4, or Glycine Receptor Alpha-4, is a protein that is part of the glycine receptor family, which are neurotransmitter receptors primarily responsible for mediating inhibitory neurotransmission in the central nervous system. Glycine receptors are pentameric ligand-gated ion channels that allow for the passage of chloride ions (Cl^-) into the neuron when glycine, the endogenous ligand, binds to the receptor.
