Glycine receptors are pentameric ligand-gated chloride channel receptors which mediate post-synaptic inhibition in the central nervous system. Channel opening is triggered by extracellular glycine. Glycine receptors play important roles in the down-regulation of neuron excitability.

The receptor is available in the following formats: stable over-expression cell line, membrane preparation, or purified receptor in HEK293 or CHO. Various tagged versions are available.
