======= CHRNA1 ======= == Gene Information == * **Official Symbol**: CHRNA1 * **Official Name**: cholinergic receptor nicotinic alpha 1 subunit * **Aliases and Previous Symbols**: N/A * **Entrez ID**: [[https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene/?term=1134|1134]] * **UniProt**: [[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/P02708|P02708]] * **Interactions**: [[https://thebiogrid.org/search.php?search=CHRNA1&organism=9606|BioGRID]] * **PubMed articles**: [[https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=gene%20CHRNA1|Open PubMed]] * **OMIM**: [[https://omim.org/entry/100690|Open OMIM]] == Function Summary == * **Entrez Summary**: The muscle acetylcholine receptor consiststs of 5 subunits of 4 different types: 2 alpha subunits and 1 each of the beta, gamma, and delta subunits. This gene encodes an alpha subunit that plays a role in acetlycholine binding/channel gating. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2012]. * **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. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:27375219}. |Neur chan memb| |Neur chan LBD| |skeletal muscle tissue growth| |acetylcholine receptor activity| |acetylcholine-gated cation-selective channel activity| |acetylcholine binding| |acetylcholine-gated channel complex| |muscle cell cellular homeostasis| |ion channel activity| |integral component of postsynaptic specialization membrane| |synaptic transmission, cholinergic| |neuronal action potential| |skeletal muscle contraction| |neuromuscular synaptic transmission| |neuron cellular homeostasis| |transmitter-gated ion channel activity involved in regulation of postsynaptic membrane potential| |neuromuscular junction development| |multicellular organismal movement| |musculoskeletal movement| |extracellular ligand-gated ion channel activity| |response to nicotine| |transmission of nerve impulse| |excitatory postsynaptic potential| |chemical synaptic transmission, postsynaptic| |neuromuscular junction| |action potential| |regulation of postsynaptic membrane potential| |neuromuscular process| |striated muscle contraction| |skeletal muscle tissue development| |skeletal muscle organ development| |multicellular organismal signaling| |postsynaptic membrane| |muscle contraction| |synapse| |synapse organization| |striated muscle tissue development| |muscle organ development| |muscle tissue development| |muscle system process| |neuron projection| |anatomical structure homeostasis| |developmental growth| |growth| |chemical synaptic transmission| |anterograde trans-synaptic signaling| |cell surface receptor signaling pathway involved in cell-cell signaling| |regulation of membrane potential| |trans-synaptic signaling| |synaptic signaling| |muscle structure development| |response to toxic substance| |cell junction| |cell surface| |cation transport| |cellular homeostasis| |ion transmembrane transport| |response to drug| |cell-cell signaling| |transmembrane transport| |ion transport| |nervous system process| |integral component of plasma membrane| |homeostatic process| |tissue development| |system process| \\ === CRISPR Data === No hits were found. ^Gene^Correlation^ |[[:human genes:r:rrm1|RRM1]]|0.481| Global Fraction of Cell Lines Where Essential: 0/739 ^Tissue^Fraction Of Cell Lines Where Essential^ |1290807.0|0/1| |909776.0|0/1| |bile duct|0/28| |blood|0/28| |bone|0/26| |breast|0/33| |central nervous system|0/56| |cervix|0/4| |colorectal|0/17| |esophagus|0/13| |fibroblast|0/1| |gastric|0/16| |kidney|0/21| |liver|0/20| |lung|0/75| |lymphocyte|0/16| |ovary|0/26| |pancreas|0/24| |peripheral nervous system|0/16| |plasma cell|0/15| |prostate|0/1| |skin|0/24| |soft tissue|0/9| |thyroid|0/2| |upper aerodigestive|0/22| |urinary tract|0/29| |uterus|0/5| == Essentiality in NALM6 == * **Essentiality Rank**: 7549 * **Expression level (log2 read counts)**: 3.36 {{:chemogenomics:nalm6 dist.png?nolink |}}
