The glycine receptor is a neurotransmitter-gated ion channel. Binding of glycine to its receptor increases the chloride conductance and thus produces hyperpolarization (inhibition of neuronal firing).

The Ligand-gated Ion Channel (LIC) Family of Neurotransmitter Receptors TC 1.A.9)Members of the LIC family of ionotropic neurotransmitter receptors are found only in vertebrate and invertebrate animals. They exhibit receptor specificity for (1)acetylcholine, (2) serotonin, (3) glycine, (4) glutamate and (5) g-aminobutyric acid (GABA). All of these receptor channels are probably hetero- orhomopentameric. The best characterized are the nicotinic acetyl-choline receptors which are pentameric channels of a2bgd subunit composition. All subunits arehomologous. The three dimensional structures of the protein complex in both the open and closed configurations have been solved at 0.9 nm resolution.The channel protein complexes of the LIC family preferentially transport cations or anions depending on the channel (e.g., the acetylcholine receptors are cationselective while glycine receptors are anion selective) [Transport and binding proteins, Cations and iron carrying compounds].

>PF02932 Neur_chan_memb: Neurotransmitter-gated ion-channel transmembrane region ion channel family signature gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptor signature nicotinic acetylcholine receptor signature; InterPro: IPR006029 Neurotransmitter ligand-gated ion channels are transmembrane receptor-ion channel complexes that open transiently upon binding of specific ligands, allowing rapid transmission of signals at chemical synapses [, ]
Five of these ion channel receptor families have been shown to form a sequence-related superfamily: Nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (AchR), an excitatory cation channel in vertebrates and invertebrates; in vertebrate motor endplates it is composed of alpha, beta, gamma and delta/epsilon subunits; in neurons it is composed of alpha and non-alpha (or beta) subunits []. Glycine receptor, an inhibitory chloride ion channel composed of alpha and beta subunits []. Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptor, an inhibitory chloride ion channel; at least four types of subunits (alpha, beta, gamma and delta) are known []. Serotonin 5HT3 receptor, of which there are seven major types (5HT3-5HT7) []. Glutamate receptor, an excitatory cation channel of which at least three types have been described (kainate, N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) and quisqualate) []. These receptors possess a pentameric structure (made up of varying subunits), surrounding a central pore. All known sequences of subunits from neurotransmitter-gated ion-channels are structurally related. They are composed of a large extracellular glycosylated N-terminal ligand-binding domain, followed by three hydrophobic transmembrane regions which form the ionic channel, followed by an intracellular region of variable length. A fourth hydrophobic region is found at the C-terminal of the sequence [, ]. This domain represents four transmembrane helices of a variety of neurotransmitter-gated ion-channels.; GO: 0006811 ion transport, 0016020 membrane; PDB: 1DXZ_A 3MRA_A 1EQ8_C 1OED_C 2PR9_P 1A11_A 1CEK_A 2BG9_E 2KSR_A 2K59_B ....
