PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
STRUCTURE
motifs/domains
  • a large N terminal extracellular domain
  • four transmembrane segments (4TM) with the M2 domain comprising the cation-selective pore
  • mono polymer pentamer
    HOMOLOGY
    interspecies homolog to murine Chrne
    Homologene
    FAMILY
  • cholinergic receptor family
  • ligand gated ion channel family
  • CATEGORY receptor membrane
    SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION     plasma membrane,junction
        intracellular
    intracellular,cytoplasm
    basic FUNCTION
  • cholinergic receptor, nicotinic
  • mediating synaptic transmission at the neuromuscular junction
  • after binding acetylcholine, involved in opening of an ion-conducting channel across the plasma membrane (through an extensive change in conformation that affects all subunits)
  • during muscle cell determination and differentiation, specific histone modifications are targeted to the CHRNE subunit locus
  • plays likely a crucial role in controlling Ca(2+) permeability of endplate AChR-channel
  • CELLULAR PROCESS
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling neurotransmission
    a component pentamer of two alpha chains, and one each of the beta, delta, and gamma (in immature muscle) or epsilon (in mature muscle) chains
    INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • during muscle cell determination and differentiation, histone modifications were targeted to the CHRNE subunit locus in a series of distinct steps to achieve a histone modification pattern that could promote transcriptional activation
