======= CHRNA5 ======= == Gene Information == * **Official Symbol**: CHRNA5 * **Official Name**: cholinergic receptor nicotinic alpha 5 subunit * **Aliases and Previous Symbols**: N/A * **Entrez ID**: [[https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene/?term=1138|1138]] * **UniProt**: [[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/P30532|P30532]] * **Interactions**: [[https://thebiogrid.org/search.php?search=CHRNA5&organism=9606|BioGRID]] * **PubMed articles**: [[https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=gene%20CHRNA5|Open PubMed]] * **OMIM**: [[https://omim.org/entry/118505|Open OMIM]] == Function Summary == * **Entrez Summary**: 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).[provided by RefSeq, Jun 2010]. * **UniProt Summary**: 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. |Neur chan memb| |Neur chan LBD| |behavioral response to nicotine| |ligand-gated ion channel activity| |dopaminergic synapse| |acetylcholine receptor activity| |acetylcholine-gated cation-selective channel activity| |acetylcholine-gated channel complex| |acetylcholine binding| |synaptic transmission, cholinergic| |neuromuscular synaptic transmission| |extracellular ligand-gated ion channel activity| |response to nicotine| |excitatory postsynaptic potential| |chemical synaptic transmission, postsynaptic| |regulation of synaptic vesicle exocytosis| |regulation of postsynaptic membrane potential| |regulation of neurotransmitter secretion| |regulation of synaptic vesicle cycle| |regulation of neurotransmitter transport| |adult behavior| |regulation of regulated secretory pathway| |postsynaptic membrane| |regulation of exocytosis| |synapse| |neuron projection| |regulation of neurotransmitter levels| |anterograde trans-synaptic signaling| |chemical synaptic transmission| |cell surface receptor signaling pathway involved in cell-cell signaling| |regulation of membrane potential| |trans-synaptic signaling| |modulation of chemical synaptic transmission| |regulation of trans-synaptic signaling| |synaptic signaling| |response to toxic substance| |cell junction| |regulation of vesicle-mediated transport| |behavior| |regulation of secretion by cell| |regulation of secretion| |regulation of cellular localization| |ion transmembrane transport| |response to drug| |cell-cell signaling| |transmembrane transport| |ion transport| |nervous system process| |integral component of plasma membrane| |regulation of transport| |system process| \\ === CRISPR Data === No hits were found.
