Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0)
Predicted to enable acetylcholine-gated monoatomic cation-selective channel activity and quaternary ammonium group binding activity. Predicted to contribute to acetylcholine receptor activity and heterocyclic compound binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including cellular response to nicotine; modulation of inhibitory postsynaptic potential; and synaptic signaling. Located in cell periphery. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; immune system; and spinal cord. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy 4 and benign familial infantile seizures 6. Orthologous to human CHRNA2 (cholinergic receptor nicotinic alpha 2 subunit).
