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. Is expressed in immature eye and nervous system. Orthologous to human CHRNA6 (cholinergic receptor nicotinic alpha 6 subunit).
