Gene Symbol:

CHRNA1 Homo sapiens

Full name:

cholinergic receptor nicotinic alpha 1 subunit

Synonyms:

ACHRA, ACHRD, CHRNA, CMS1A, CMS1B, CMS2A, FCCMS, SCCMS, acetylcholine receptor subunit alpha, acetylcholine receptor, nicotinic, alpha 1 (muscle), cholinergic receptor, nicotinic alpha 1, cholinergic receptor, nicotinic, alpha 1 (muscle), cholinergic receptor, nicotinic, alpha polypeptide 1 (muscle), muscle nicotinic acetylcholine receptor, nicotinic acetylcholine receptor alpha subunit, nicotinic cholinergic receptor alpha 1

Genomic Location:

Chr 2: 175320566-175337427

Description:

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.
