Summary: Neuronal acetylcholine receptors are homo- or heteropentameric complexes composed of homologous alpha and beta subunits. They belong to a superfamily of ligand-gated ion channels which allow the flow of sodium and potassium across the plasma membrane in response to ligands such as acetylcholine and nicotine. This gene encodes one of several beta subunits. Mutations in this gene are associated with autosomal dominant nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Data suggest that amino acid residues alpha4Gly-41, alpha4Lys-64, and alpha4Thr-66 are critical for (alpha4)3(beta2)2 neuronal AChR potentiation by positive allosteric modulator (PAM) CMPI, but not by PAM NS9283; amino acid substitution at alpha4His-116, a known determinant of NS9283 binding and of agonist binding at alpha4:alpha4 subunit interface, did not reduce CMPI potentiation.

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.
