Description
Contributes to acetylcholine receptor activity. Involved in response to nicotine. Localizes to acetylcholine-gated channel complex. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy 1 and nicotine dependence. Is expressed in central nervous system; cranial neural crest cell; and pharyngeal arch. Orthologous to human CHRNA4 (cholinergic receptor nicotinic alpha 4 subunit).
