FUNCTION: Ionotropic receptor with a probable role in the modulation of auditory stimuli. Agonist binding may induce 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 permeable to a range of divalent cations including calcium, the influx of which may activate a potassium current which hyperpolarizes the cell membrane. In the ear, this leads to a reduction in basilar membrane motion, altering the activity of auditory nerve fibers and reducing the range of dynamic hearing. This may protect against acoustic trauma. SUBUNIT: Forms heterooligomeric channels in conjunction with CHRNA9. The native outer hair cell receptor may be composed of CHRNA9-CHRNA10 heterooligomers. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cell junction, synapse, postsynaptic cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein (Probable). Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein (Probable). TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed in the outer hair cells of the cochlea and the neurons of dorsal root ganglia. DEVELOPMENTAL STAGE: Expression in the inner hair cells of the ear is lost at the onset of hearing, around P12. This correlates with a loss of sensitivity of these cells to cholinergic stimuli. MISCELLANEOUS: The heterooligomeric receptor composed of CHRNA9 and CHRNA10 has an atypical pharmacological profile, binding several non-nicotinic ligands including strychnine (a glycine receptor antagonist) and atropine (a muscarinic acetylcholine receptor antagonist). SIMILARITY: Belongs to the ligand-gated ion channel (TC 1.A.9) family. Acetylcholine receptor (TC 1.A.9.1) subfamily. Alpha- 10/CHRNA10 sub-subfamily. GENE SYNONYMS:Chrna10.
