Glycine receptor α3 subunit, also known as GLRA3, belongs to the ligand-gated ion channel family. Glycine functions as a inhibitory neurotransmitter throughout the CNS of mammals. The Glycine receptor is a neurotransmitter ligand-gated ion channel. GLRA3 is a pentamer that is composed of ligand binding alpha and structural beta subunits. When glycine binds to the receptor, chloride conductance increases which produces hyperpolarization. It is expressed in the hippocampus, olfactory bulb, and cerebellum. GLRA3 may be involved in human and murine neurological disorders.

Diminished inhibitory neurotransmission in the superficial dorsal horn of the spinal cord is thought to contribute to chronic pain. In inflammatory pain, reductions in synaptic inhibition occur partially through prostaglandin E2- (PGE2-) and PKA-dependent phosphorylation of a specific subtype of
