Summary: Enables transmitter-gated monoatomic ion channel activity involved in regulation of postsynaptic membrane potential. Involved in positive regulation of transmission of nerve impulse. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including behavioral response to nicotine; neuronal action potential; and synaptic transmission involved in micturition. Is active in cholinergic synapse and postsynaptic specialization membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; eye; genitourinary system; nervous system; and thymus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cocaine abuse; lung cancer (multiple); nicotine dependence; and oral cavity cancer. Orthologous to human CHRNB4 (cholinergic receptor nicotinic beta 4 subunit). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]
Expression: Broad expression in adrenal adult (RPKM 3.4), colon adult (RPKM 3.2) and 15 other tissues See more

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.
