About Chrna1

Summary

Enables acetylcholine-gated cation-selective channel activity. Involved in cation transport and skeletal muscle contraction. Part of acetylcholine-gated channel complex. 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).
