CHRNA5
 | It has been suggested that this article be merged into Alpha-5 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor. (Discuss) Proposed since December 2021. |
Neuronal acetylcholine receptor subunit alpha-5, also known as nAChRα5, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CHRNA5 gene.[5][6] The protein encoded by this gene is a subunit of certain nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAchR).
Function[]
Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs), such as CHRNA5, are members of a superfamily of ligand-gated ion channels that mediate fast signal transmission at synapses. The nAChRs are thought to be (hetero)pentamers composed of homologous subunits.[6] CHRNA5 is a candidate gene for predisposition to nicotine dependence and to lung cancer risk. [7] Polymorphisms in the CHRNA5 promoter are functionally associated with CHRNA5 transcript levels in lung tissue. [8]
