AcetylCholine Receptor |
| Gene Summary |
Predicted to enable excitatory extracellular ligand-gated monoatomic ion channel activity and transmitter-gated monoatomic ion channel activity involved in regulation of postsynaptic membrane potential. Predicted to be involved in chemical synaptic transmission; monoatomic ion transmembrane transport; and regulation of membrane potential. 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. Used to study nicotine dependence. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; esophagus squamous cell carcinoma; respiratory system cancer (multiple); and schizophrenia. Orthologous to human CHRFAM7A (CHRNA7 (exons 5-10) and FAM7A (exons A-E) fusion) and CHRNA7 (cholinergic receptor nicotinic alpha 7 subunit). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jun 2025] |
