About This Section

Entrez Gene summary for CHRNA6:
This gene encodes an alpha subunit of neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. These receptors consist of five
subunits and function as ion channels involved in neurotransmission. The encoded protein is a subunit of neuronal
nicotinic acetylcholine receptors that mediate dopaminergic neurotransmission and are activated by acetylcholine and
exogenous nicotine. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been observed for this gene. Single nucleotide
polymorphisms in this gene have been associated with both nicotine and alcohol dependence. (provided by RefSeq, Dec
2010)

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: ACHA6_HUMAN, Q15825
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 CHRNA6:
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.
