Gene ID: 110834 | Gene type: protein coding

About Chrna3

Summary

Enables acetylcholine-gated cation-selective channel activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including activation of transmembrane receptor protein tyrosine kinase activity; behavioral response to nicotine; and chemical synaptic transmission. Is integral component of postsynaptic specialization membrane. Part of acetylcholine-gated channel complex. Is active in cholinergic synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; gut; myenteric nerve plexus; paravertebral ganglion; and retina. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in lung Cancer. Orthologous to human CHRNA3 (cholinergic receptor nicotinic alpha 3 subunit). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
