basic FUNCTION	mediating the fastest inhibitory synaptic transmission in the central nervous system
	involved in inhibitory effects on neurotransmission, and associate with the formation of protease-resistant prion protein in prion-infected neuroblastoma cells
	important link between GABRB1 function and increased alcohol consumption that could underlie some forms of alcohol abuse
