About Chrnb2

Summary

Enables acetylcholine-gated cation-selective channel activity. Involved in regulation of synaptic vesicle exocytosis. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including learning or memory; nervous system development; and regulation of circadian sleep/wake cycle, sleep. Located in external side of plasma membrane. Is integral component of postsynaptic specialization membrane and integral component of presynaptic membrane. Part of acetylcholine-gated channel complex. Is active in cholinergic synapse and dopaminergic synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; integumental system; nervous system; and sensory organ. Used to study attention deficit hyperactivity disorder; autism spectrum disorder; and autosomal dominant nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy 3. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy and autosomal dominant nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy 3. Orthologous to human CHRNB2 (cholinergic receptor nicotinic beta 2 subunit). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
