Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.3.0)
Enables acetylcholine-gated monoatomic cation-selective channel activity. Involved in presynaptic modulation of chemical synaptic transmission. Acts upstream of or within membrane depolarization and regulation of dopamine secretion. Located in presynapse. Part of acetylcholine-gated channel complex. Is active in dopaminergic synapse; postsynaptic membrane; and presynaptic membrane. Is expressed in central nervous system and retina. Orthologous to human CHRNA6 (cholinergic receptor nicotinic alpha 6 subunit).
