SynGO term:ligand-gated ion channel activity involved in regulation of presynaptic membrane potential (GO:0099507)
Annotated paper:Eyre MD, et al. "Setting the time course of inhibitory synaptic currents by mixing multiple GABA(A) receptor alpha subunit isoforms" J Neurosci. 2012 Apr 25;32(17):5853-67 PMID:22539847
Figure(s):Fig.12
Annotation description:Functional characterisation in HEK cells of overexpressed GABAAR alpha 1 and 3 subunints.

rule: NAS_MFCC-BP
rationale:
Protein has ligand-gated ion channel receptor activity and is localized in the presynaptic membrane (shown with high-resolution technique). The inference to term ligand-gated ion channel activity involved in regulation of presynaptic membrane potential (GO:0099507) is trivial and non-controversial.
