Gene: Chrna6 (cholinergic receptor nicotinic alpha 6 subunit) Rattus norvegicus
Analyze
Symbol: Chrna6
Name: cholinergic receptor nicotinic alpha 6 subunit
RGD ID: 69281
Description: Contributes to heterocyclic compound binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including presynaptic modulation of chemical synaptic transmission; response to nicotine; and synaptic signaling. Predicted to act upstream of or within regulation of dopamine secretion. Part of protein-containing complex. Is active in postsynaptic membrane and presynaptic membrane. Orthologous to human CHRNA6 (cholinergic receptor nicotinic alpha 6 subunit); PARTICIPATES IN acetylcholine signaling pathway via nicotinic acetylcholine receptor; INTERACTS WITH ammonium chloride; bisphenol A; chlorpyrifos.
Type: protein-coding
RefSeq Status: PROVISIONAL
Previously known as: cholinergic receptor, nicotinic, alpha 6; cholinergic receptor, nicotinic, alpha 6 (neuronal); cholinergic receptor, nicotinic, alpha polypeptide 6; neuronal acetylcholine receptor subunit alpha-6
