Binds to the main immunogenic region on the extracellular surface of the α1 subunit of muscle AChR′s and to homologous regions on α3 and α5 subunits of neuronal AChR′s. The epitope is located on the extracellular surface of the α1 subunit of the muscle nicotinic acetylcholine receptor. The antibody binds to denatured chick α5 AChR, but does not bind well to denatured α3, α4, α7, α8, and β2. It may also bind β3 due to homology of main immunogenic region. May be used to localize and detect the α1, α3 and α5 subunits of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (AChR).
Immunogen
nicotinic acetylcholine receptor from the electric eel Electrophorus.

Mutations in AChR subunits, expressed as pentamers in neuromuscular junctions (NMJs), cause various types of congenital myasthenic syndromes. In AChR pentamers, the adult ε subunit gradually replaces the embryonic γ subunit as the animal develops. Because of this switch in
