Analyze
Symbol: Chrna4
Name: cholinergic receptor nicotinic alpha 4 subunit
RGD ID: 2346
Description: Enables acetylcholine binding activity; acetylcholine-gated monoatomic cation-selective channel activity; and quaternary ammonium group binding activity. Contributes to heterocyclic compound binding activity. Involved in acetylcholine receptor signaling pathway; cholinergic synaptic transmission; and regulation of acetylcholine-gated cation channel activity. Located in dendrite and neuronal cell body. Part of acetylcholine-gated channel complex. Is active in cholinergic synapse; postsynaptic specialization membrane; and presynaptic membrane. Biomarker of congestive heart failure. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy 1 and nicotine dependence. Orthologous to human CHRNA4 (cholinergic receptor nicotinic alpha 4 subunit); PARTICIPATES IN acetylcholine signaling pathway via nicotinic acetylcholine receptor; alfentanil pharmacodynamics pathway; bupivacaine pharmacodynamics pathway; INTERACTS WITH (S)-anabasine; (S)-nicotine; 1,1-dimethyl-4-phenylpiperazinium iodide.
