Glycine receptor, alpha 1 (startle disease/hyperekplexia, stiff man syndrome), also known as GLRA1, is a human gene.

The inhibitory glycine receptor mediates postsynaptic inhibition in the spinal cord and other regions of the central nervous system. It is a pentameric receptor composed of alpha and beta subunits. The GLRB gene (MIM 138492) encodes the beta subunit of the receptor.[supplied by OMIM][1]
