Gephyrin is an important component in the neurobiology of neurodegenerative diseases. This page provides detailed information about its structure, function, and role in disease processes.
Gephyrin is a crucial scaffolding protein that clusters GABA-A and glycine receptors at inhibitory synapses. It is essential for the formation and maintenance of inhibitory synapses and plays a key role in synaptic transmission. Gephyrin also participates in molybdenum cofactor synthesis.

Expressed throughout the brain, highest in brainstem, spinal cord, and cortex. Critical for inhibitory synapse formation.
The study of Gephyrin has evolved significantly over the past decades. Research in this area has revealed important insights into the underlying mechanisms of neurodegeneration and continues to drive therapeutic development.
Historical context and key discoveries in this field have shaped our current understanding and will continue to guide future research directions.
