Description

Predicted to contribute to acetylcholine binding activity and acetylcholine receptor activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including chemical synaptic transmission; regulation of membrane potential; and response to nicotine. Predicted to localize to acetylcholine-gated channel complex; neuron projection; and synapse. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in lung cancer. Is expressed in interpeduncular nucleus tegmentum and liver. Orthologous to human CHRNA5 (cholinergic receptor nicotinic alpha 5 subunit).

Note: Jensen et al., 2010 reported conserved synteny between zebrafish and Human chrna5. However, analysis of the current genome build (Zv9) no longer supports the synteny relationship.
