CHRNA6
-
Official Full Name
cholinergic receptor, nicotinic, alpha 6
-
Overview
This gene encodes an alpha subunit of neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. These receptors consist of five subunits and function as ion channels involved in neurotransmission. The encoded protein is a subunit of neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors that mediate dopaminergic neurotransmission and are activated by acetylcholine and exogenous nicotine. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been observed for this gene. Single nucleotide polymorphisms in this gene have been associated with both nicotine and alcohol dependence. -

CHRNA6 has several biochemical functions, for example, contributes_to acetylcholine binding, acetylcholine receptor activity, acetylcholine-activated cation-selective channel activity. Some of the functions are cooperated with other proteins, some of the functions could acted by CHRNA6 itself. We selected most functions CHRNA6 had, and list some proteins which have the same functions with CHRNA6. You can find most of the proteins on our site.
