FLASH GENE DNA RNA EXPRESSION PROTEIN DISORDER ANIMAL & CELL MODELS

PROTEIN

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
