. "SEQUENCE 502 AA; 56503 MW; 289A30498C7B9A58 CRC64;"^^ . "FUNCTION: 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. The channel is blocked by alpha-bungarotoxin. SUBUNIT: Homopentamer. Interacts with RIC3; which is required for proper folding and assembly. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cell junction, synapse, postsynaptic cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the ligand-gated ion channel (TC 1.A.9) family. Acetylcholine receptor (TC 1.A.9.1) subfamily. Alpha- 7/CHRNA7 sub-subfamily. GENE SYNONYMS:Chrna7 Acra7.
