Chrna9 - cholinergic receptor, nicotinic, alpha polypeptide 9 Gene

Also Known as Acra9; Gm8311; EG666827; 2410015I05Rik

Species: Mus musculus

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 231252

Summary

Enables acetylcholine-gated cation-selective channel activity. Acts upstream of or within cation transport; detection of mechanical stimulus involved in sensory perception of sound; and inner ear morphogenesis. Predicted to be part of acetylcholine-gated channel complex. Predicted to be active in neuron projection and synapse. Predicted to be integral component of plasma membrane. Is expressed in brain. Orthologous to human CHRNA9 (cholinergic receptor nicotinic alpha 9 subunit). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
