AcetylCholine Receptor |
| Gene Summary |
Predicted to enable acetylcholine-gated monoatomic cation-selective channel activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including chemical synaptic transmission; inorganic cation transmembrane transport; and monoatomic ion transmembrane transport. Predicted to be located in postsynaptic membrane. Predicted to be part of acetylcholine-gated channel complex. Predicted to be active in neuron projection; plasma membrane; and synapse. Is expressed in anal depressor muscle; body wall musculature; neurons; socket cell; and uterine-vulval cell. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital myasthenic syndrome 1A and congenital myasthenic syndrome 1B. Orthologous to human CHRNA1 (cholinergic receptor nicotinic alpha 1 subunit).
