| Annotation description: | Electrophysiological characterisation of GABAA alpha 2 subunit overexpressed in HEK cells, with WC patch-clamp. rule: NAS_MFCC-BP rationale: Protein has voltage-gated ion channel activity and is localized in teh presynaptic membrane (show 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.
