Chrna9 - cholinergic receptor nicotinic alpha 9 subunit Gene

Species: Rattus norvegicus

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 65024

Summary

Enables acetylcholine-gated cation-selective channel activity. Involved in negative regulation of ERK1 and ERK2 cascade and sensory perception of sound. Part of acetylcholine-gated channel complex. Is active in cholinergic synapse. Is integral component of postsynaptic specialization membrane. Orthologous to human CHRNA9 (cholinergic receptor nicotinic alpha 9 subunit).
