- Description
- Contributes to acetylcholine receptor activity. Involved in behavioral response to nicotine. Localizes to acetylcholine-gated channel complex. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy 4. Is expressed in nervous system. Orthologous to human CHRNA2 (cholinergic receptor nicotinic alpha 2 subunit).
