FAMILY

ligand-gated ion channel (TC 1.A.9) family

DESCRIPTION

Also known as ACHB3_HUMAN, CHRNB3. After binding acetylcholine, the AChR responds by an extensive change in conformation that affects all subunits and leads to opening of an ion-conducting channel across the plasma membrane. Neuronal AChR seems to be composed of two different type of subunits: alpha and beta.
