Function Summary
- Entrez Summary: N/A
- UniProt Summary: Believed to act as a modulator of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) activity. In vitro acts on nAChRs in a subtype- and stoichiometry-dependent manner. Modulates specifally alpha-3(3):beta-4(2) nAChRs by enhancing the sensitivity to ACh, decreasing ACh-induced maximal current response and increasing the rate of desensitization to ACh; has no effect on alpha-7 homomeric nAChRs; modulates alpha-3(2):alpha- 5:beta-4(2) nAChRs in the context of CHRNA5/alpha-5 variant Asn- 398 but not its wild-type sequence. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:26586467}.
