Secondary Accession Numbers
  • 17146
Name Neuronal acetylcholine receptor subunit alpha-2
Synonyms Not Available
Gene Name CHRNA2
Protein Type Unknown
Biological Properties
General Function Involved in extracellular ligand-gated ion channel activity
Specific Function After binding acetylcholine, the AChR responds by an extensive change in conformation that affects all subunits and leads to opening of an ion-conducting channel across the plasma membrane
