Verification Images
-
Western blot analysis was performed on protein extracts (25 μg) from SH-SY5Y (lane 2), Mouse brain (lane 3), Ramos (lane 4) and HeLa (lane 5) using Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor alpha 4 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
Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor alpha 4 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. CHRNA4 forms heteropentameric neuronal acetylcholine receptors with CHRNB2 and CHRNB4, as well as CHRNA5 and CHRNB3 as accesory subunits. Is the most abundant nAChR subtype expressed in the central nervous system. Found in two major stoichiometric forms,(CHRNA4)3:(CHRNB2)2 and (CHRNA4)2:(CHRNB2)3, the two stoichiometric forms differ in their unitary conductance, calcium permeability, ACh sensitivity and potentiation by divalent cation. Involved in the modulation of calcium-dependent signaling pathways, influences the release of neurotransmitters, including dopamine, glutamate and GABA[1][2][3][4][5].

Subunit
Neuronal AChR is composed of two different types of subunits: alpha and beta (PubMed:22361591). CHRNA4 forms heteropentameric neuronal acetylcholine receptors with CHRNB2 and CHRNB4, as well as CHRNA5 and CHRNB3 as accesory subunits (PubMed:20881005, PubMed:22361591, PubMed:27698419, PubMed:29720657, PubMed:38454578). Found in two major stoichiometric forms, LS (low agonist sensitivity): (CHRNA4)3:(CHRNB2)2 and HS (high agonist sensitivity): (CHRNA4)2:(CHRNB2)3, the two stoichiometric forms differ in their unitary conductance, calcium permeability, ACh sensitivity and potentiation by divalent cation (PubMed:12527804, PubMed:17132685, PubMed:22361591, PubMed:27698419, PubMed:29720657, PubMed:38454578). Cells produce predominantly an (CHRNA4)3:(CHRNB2)2 nAChR. The (CHRNA4)2:(CHRNB2)3 expression is selectively up-regulated by nicotine and has lower single channel conductance and calcium permeability (PubMed:17132685). In the striatum, also forms CHRNA4:CHRNA6:CHRNB2 complexes (By similarity). Also found in the stoichiometric form: (CHRNA4:CHRNB2)2:CHRNB3 (PubMed:16835356). Interacts with RIC3; which is required for proper folding and assembly (PubMed:16120769). Interacts with LYPD6 (PubMed:27344019)
