About This Section

Entrez Gene summary for CHRNA1:
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)

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: ACHA_HUMAN, P02708
Function: 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

summary for CHRNA1:
Nicotinic receptors (nAChRs) are ligand-gated ion channels that modulate cell membrane potentials. Each
receptor is composed of pentameric combinations of subunits (alpha1-10, beta1-4, delta, epsilon and gamma).
Nicotinic receptors are generally divided into three functional classes: muscle subunits (alpha1, beta1,
delta, epsilon, gamma), standard neuronal subunits (alpha1-6 and beta2-4) that form in pairwise alphabeta
combinations, and subunits (alpha7-9) that can form homomeric nAChRs. Neuronal nicotinic receptors are found
in the central nervous system and in autonomic ganglia where they regulate processes such as transmitter
release, cell excitability and neuronal integration. Nicotinic receptors located at the neuromuscular
junctions of somatic muscles are responsible for muscular contraction.

  • Defects in CHRNA1 are a cause of multiple pterygium syndrome, lethal type (LMPS) [MIM:253290]. Multiple
  • pterygia are found infrequently in children with arthrogryposis and in fetuses with fetal akinesia syndrome. In lethal
    multiple pterygium syndrome there is intrauterine growth retardation, multiple pterygia, and flexion contractures
    causing severe arthrogryposis and fetal akinesia. Subcutaneous edema can be severe, causing fetal hydrops with cystic
    hygroma and lung hypoplasia. Oligohydramnios and facial anomalies are frequent
  • Note=The alpha subunit is the main focus for antibody binding in myasthenia gravis. Myasthenia gravis is
  • characterized by sporadic muscular fatigability and weakness, occurring chiefly in muscles innervated by cranial
    nerves, and characteristically improved by cholinesterase-inhibiting drugs
  • Defects in CHRNA1 are a cause of congenital myasthenic syndrome slow-channel type (SCCMS) [MIM:601462]. SCCMS
  • is the most common congenital myasthenic syndrome. Congenital myasthenic syndromes are characterized by muscle
    weakness affecting the axial and limb muscles (with hypotonia in early-onset forms), the ocular muscles (leading to
    ptosis and ophthalmoplegia), and the facial and bulbar musculature (affecting sucking and swallowing, and leading to
    dysphonia). The symptoms fluctuate and worsen with physical effort. SCCMS is caused by kinetic abnormalities of the
    AChR, resulting in prolonged endplate currents and prolonged AChR channel opening episodes
  • Defects in CHRNA1 are a cause of congenital myasthenic syndrome fast-channel type (FCCMS) [MIM:608930]. FCCMS
  • is a congenital myasthenic syndrome characterized by kinetic abnormalities of the AChR. In most cases, FCCMS is due to
    mutations that decrease activity of the AChR by slowing the rate of opening of the receptor channel, speeding the rate
    of closure of the channel, or decreasing the number of openings of the channel during ACh occupancy. The result is
    failure to achieve threshold depolarization of the endplate and consequent failure to fire an action potential
