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 is composed of two different types of subunits: alpha and beta. Alpha-3 subunit can be combined to beta-2 or beta-4 to give rise to functional receptors. Interacts with RIC3; which is required for proper folding and assembly. Ref.12 |
| Subcellular location | Cell junction › synapse › postsynaptic cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. |
| Polymorphism | Genetic variations in CHRNA3 have been associated with susceptibility to smoking-related behavioral traits and lung cancer, contributing to the smoking quantitative trait locus 3 (SQTL3) [MIM:612052]. |
| Sequence similarities | Belongs to the ligand-gated ion channel (TC 1.A.9) family. Acetylcholine receptor (TC 1.A.9.1) subfamily. Alpha-3/CHRNA3 sub-subfamily. [View classification] |
