This gene encodes the beta subunit of the glycine
receptor, which is a pentamer composed of alpha and beta subunits.
The receptor functions as a neurotransmitter-gated ion channel,
which produces hyperpolarization via increased chloride conductance
due to the binding of glycine to the receptor. Mutations in this
gene cause startle disease, also known as hereditary hyperekplexia
or congenital stiff-person syndrome, a disease characterized by
muscular rigidity. Alternative splicing results in multiple
transcript variants.1) Joslyn, G., et al. Alcohol. Clin. Exp. Res. 34(5):800-812(2010)
