Opis

General description

Neuronal acetylcholine receptor subunit alpha-7 (UniProt: P36544; also known as -Nicotinic Receptor Alpha 7, Nicotinic AChR alpha7) is encoded by the CHRNA7 (also known as NACHRA7) gene (Gene ID: 1139) in human. Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors are cation-selective, ligand-gated ion channels that mediate fast neurotransmission. They are distributed at the post-synaptic membrane of muscle cells. A similar neuronal-type ACh receptor is also found in the central nervous system and is involved in a wide range of physiological and pathological functions. They are assembled either as homo-pentamers of 7, 8, and 9 or hetero-pentamers of 2 6 in combination with β2 β4 or 9 with 10 subunits. They regulate the flow of sodium, potassium, and calcium ions across the cell membrane. The binding of ligands to these receptors triggers a tertiary conformational transition of neuronal AChRs among functionally distinct resting, open, and desensitized states. Nicotinic AChR 7 is a multi-pass, homopentameric, membrane glycoprotein that is synthesized with a signal peptide (aa 1-22), which is subsequently cleaved off to produce the mature protein that contains an extracellular domain (aa 23-230), four transmembrane domains (aa 231-255; 262-280; 296-317; and 470-490), and one cytoplasmic domain (aa 318-469).
