Summary: Predicted to enable excitatory extracellular ligand-gated monoatomic ion channel activity and transmitter-gated monoatomic ion channel activity involved in regulation of postsynaptic membrane potential. Involved in cellular response to nicotine. Predicted to be located in postsynaptic membrane. Predicted to be part of transmembrane transporter complex. Predicted to be active in neuron projection; plasma membrane; and synapse. Is expressed in nervous system and tail. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]
