General annotation (Comments)

Function

After binding acetylcholine, the AChR responds by an extensive change in conformation that affects all subunits and leads to opening of an ion-conducting channel across the plasma membrane.

Subunit structure

Neuronal AChR seems to be composed of two different type of subunits: alpha and non-alpha (also called beta). A functional receptor seems to consist of two alpha-chains and three non-alpha chains.

Subcellular location

Cell junction › synapse › postsynaptic cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the ligand-gated ion channel (TC 1.A.9) family. Acetylcholine receptor (TC 1.A.9.1) subfamily. Alpha-2/CHRNA2 sub-subfamily. [View classification]
