Enables acetylcholine-gated monoatomic cation-selective channel activity. Involved in several processes, including calcium ion import across plasma membrane; cholinergic synaptic transmission; and regulation of multicellular organismal process. Located in neuromuscular junction and postsynaptic membrane. Expressed in ganglia; head muscle; motor neurons; non-striated muscle; and ventral nerve cord. Used to study alcohol use disorder and congenital myasthenic syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Alzheimer's disease; autosomal dominant nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy (multiple); congenital myasthenic syndrome (multiple); and lung disease (multiple). Is an ortholog of human CHRNA2 (cholinergic receptor nicotinic alpha 2 subunit); CHRNA3 (cholinergic receptor nicotinic alpha 3 subunit); and CHRNA6 (cholinergic receptor nicotinic alpha 6 subunit).
Predicted to enable hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA lyase activity. Predicted to be involved in ketone body biosynthetic process and leucine catabolic process. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in amino acid metabolic disorder. Is an ortholog of human HMGCL (3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA lyase) and HMGCLL1 (3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA lyase like 1).
Predicted to be involved in vesicle-mediated transport. Predicted to be located in intracellular membrane-bounded organelle. Is an ortholog of human AP3S1 (adaptor related protein complex 3 subunit sigma 1) and AP3S2 (adaptor related protein complex 3 subunit sigma 2).
