Enables acetylcholine binding activity and acetylcholine-gated monoatomic cation-selective channel activity. Involved in several processes, including behavioral response to nicotine; cellular response to nicotine; and detection of mechanical stimulus involved in sensory perception of pain. Located in dendrite and neuronal cell body. Part of acetylcholine-gated channel complex. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; cocaine abuse; esophagus squamous cell carcinoma; nicotine dependence; and respiratory system cancer (multiple). Orthologous to human CHRNA5 (cholinergic receptor nicotinic alpha 5 subunit); PARTICIPATES IN acetylcholine signaling pathway via nicotinic acetylcholine receptor; INTERACTS WITH 1-naphthyl isothiocyanate; ammonium chloride; bisphenol A.
