Summary: Enables acetylcholine binding activity; acetylcholine-gated monoatomic cation-selective channel activity; and quaternary ammonium group binding activity. Contributes to heterocyclic compound binding activity. Involved in acetylcholine receptor signaling pathway; cholinergic synaptic transmission; and response to nicotine. Located in plasma membrane raft. Part of acetylcholine-gated channel complex. Is active in cholinergic synapse; postsynaptic specialization membrane; and presynaptic membrane.

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.
