Summary
Enables acetylcholine-gated monoatomic cation-selective channel activity. Acts upstream of or within detection of mechanical stimulus involved in sensory perception of sound; inner ear morphogenesis; and monoatomic cation transport. Predicted to be part of acetylcholine-gated channel complex. Predicted to be active in cholinergic synapse; neuron projection; and postsynaptic specialization membrane. Is expressed in brain. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in lung small cell carcinoma. Orthologous to human CHRNA9 (cholinergic receptor nicotinic alpha 9 subunit).

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
