Gene:
cholinergic receptor, nicotinic, delta polypeptide
Gene ID:
206489
Symbol:
CHRND
Species:
1000
Description:
The acetylcholine receptor of muscle has 5 subunits of 4 different types: 2 alpha and 1 each of beta, gamma and delta subunits. After acetylcholine binding, the receptor undergoes an extensive conformation change that affects all subunits and leads to opening of an ion-conducting channel across the plasma membrane.
