Annotation score:5 out of 5

<p>The annotation score provides a heuristic measure of the annotation content of a UniProtKB entry or proteome. This score <strong>cannot</strong> be used as a measure of the accuracy of the annotation as we cannot define the ‘correct annotation’ for any given protein.<p><a href='/help/annotation_score' target='_top'>More...</a></p>-Experimental evidence at protein leveli <p>This indicates the type of evidence that supports the existence of the protein.

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.

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 (PubMed:16120769).

Interacts with LYPD6 (PubMed:27344019). The heteropentamer alpha-3-beta-2 interacts with alpha-conotoxins ImI and ImII (PubMed:15609996). The heteropentamer alpha-3-beta-2 interacts with alpha-conotoxins ImI, ImII, PnIA, GID and MII (By similarity). The heteropentamer alpha-3-beta-4 interacts with the alpha-conotoxin ImI (PubMed:15609996).
