Selected Variant

A02359-2-Fluoro488

Size: 100 µg/Vial

Product Specifications

Background

Neuronal acetylcholine receptor subunit alpha-5 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CHRNA5 gene. It is mapped to 15q25.1. The protein encoded by this gene is a nicotinic acetylcholine receptor subunit and a member of a superfamily of ligand-gated ion channels that mediate fast signal transmission at synapses. These receptors are thought to be heteropentamers composed of separate but similar subunits. Defects in this gene have been linked to susceptibility to lung cancer type 2 (LNCR2) .

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.
