GENE - TERM ANNOTATION REPORT

RGD ID: 2345
Species: Rattus norvegicus
RGD Object: Gene
Symbol: Chrna3
Name: cholinergic receptor nicotinic alpha 3 subunit
Acc ID: GO:0060079
Term: excitatory postsynaptic potential
Definition: A process that leads to a temporary increase in postsynaptic potential due to the flow of positively charged ions into the postsynaptic cell. The flow of ions that causes an EPSP is an excitatory postsynaptic current (EPSC) and makes it easier for the neuron to fire an action potential.
Definition Source(s): GOC:dph, GOC:ef
Note: Use of the qualifier "multiple interactions" designates that the annotated interaction is comprised of a complex set of reactions and/or regulatory events, possibly involving additional chemicals and/or gene products.
