Gene Summary
metabotropic GABA-B receptor subtype 3 (GABA-B-R3) encodes a G-protein coupled receptor for the GABA neurotransmitter that is coupled to the Go G protein and activation of phospholipase C. Activation of the product of GABA-B-R3 can inhibit neuronal activity. It functions in the olfactory system and in the regulation of sleep and circadian rhythms.

Gene Group (FlyBase)
GABA(B) RECEPTORS -
Metabotropic GABA(B) receptors are Class C GPCRs. They function as obligate heterodimers, binding the inhibitory neurotransmitter GABA (γ-aminobutyric acid). (Adapted from FBrf0134605).
Summary (Interactive Fly)

G-protein coupled receptor - expressed by pheromone-sensing olfactory receptor neurons which as a consequence exhibit strong presynaptic inhibition - mediates inter-glomerular inhibition - responsible for decreased intracellular calcium of clock neurons blocking their calcium cycling

Model Confidence:
  • Very high (pLDDT > 90)
  • Confident (90 > pLDDT > 70)
  • Low (70 > pLDDT > 50)
  • Very low (pLDDT < 50)

AlphaFold produces a per-residue confidence score (pLDDT) between 0 and 100. Some regions with low pLDDT may be unstructured in isolation.
