Verification Images
-
Western blot analysis was performed on protein extracts (25 μg) from HeLa (lane 2), A549 (lane 3) and MCF-7 (lane 4) using CHRNA5 antibody. Proteins were transferred onto a 0.45 μm PVDF membrane using the Trans-Blot® Turbo™ system for 13 min. The membrane was then blocked with 5% nonfat milk in TBST (HY-K1025) for 1 h at room temperature. The primary antibody (1:1000) and loading control antibody GAPDH Antibody (HRP) (HY-P80954A) (1:5000) were diluted in 5% nonfat milk in TBST and incubated with the membrane overnight at 4°C. After washing, the membrane of primary antibody was incubated with HRP-conjugated goat anti-rabbit/mouse IgG secondary antibody (HY-P8001/HY-P8004) (1:5000) diluted in 5% nonfat milk in TBST for 1 h at room temperature. Protein bands were visualized using an Ultra High Sensitivity ECL detection kit (HY-K1005).
Background
-
Function
CHRNA5 is a Component of neuronal acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) that function as pentameric, ligand-gated cation channels with high calcium permeability among other activities. nAChRs are excitatory neurotrasnmitter receptors formed by a collection of nAChR subunits known to mediate synaptic transmission in the nervous system and the neuromuscular junction. Each nAchR subunit confers differential attributes to channel properties, including activation, deactivation and desensitization kinetics, pH sensitivity, cation permeability, and binding to allosteric modulators. Has an accessory rather than functional role and is only able to form functional nAChRs when co-assembled with another beta subunit. Participates in pentameric assemblies along with CHRNA3, CHRNA4, CHRNB2 and CHRNB4. Increases receptor sensitivity to acetylcholine and nicotine when associated with CHRNA4 and CHRNB2. Plays a role in nicotine addiction[1][2].
