Gene

Chrna3

Species
Rattus norvegicus
Symbol
Chrna3
Name
cholinergic receptor nicotinic alpha 3 subunit
Synonyms
  • Acetylcholine receptor alpha 3 (neuronal nicotine)
  • acetylcholine receptor alpha3
Biotype
protein coding gene
Automated Description
Enables acetylcholine binding activity; heterocyclic compound binding activity; and postsynaptic neurotransmitter receptor activity. Involved in several processes, including acetylcholine receptor signaling pathway; presynaptic modulation of chemical synaptic transmission; and response to carbon monoxide. Located in dendrite; neuronal cell body; and plasma membrane raft. Part of acetylcholine-gated channel complex. Is active in cholinergic synapse; dopaminergic synapse; and postsynaptic specialization membrane. Biomarker of depressive disorder. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including alcohol dependence; chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; cocaine dependence; lung cancer (multiple); and nicotine dependence. Orthologous to human CHRNA3 (cholinergic receptor nicotinic alpha 3 subunit).
RGD Description
Enables acetylcholine binding activity; heterocyclic compound binding activity; and postsynaptic neurotransmitter receptor activity. Involved in several processes, including acetylcholine receptor signaling pathway; presynaptic modulation of chemical synaptic transmission; and response to carbon monoxide. Located in dendrite; neuronal cell body; and plasma membrane raft. Part of acetylcholine-gated channel complex. Is active in cholinergic synapse; dopaminergic synapse; and postsynaptic specialization membrane. Used to study visual epilepsy. Biomarker of depressive disorder. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including alcohol dependence; chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; cocaine dependence; lung cancer (multiple); and nicotine dependence. Orthologous to human CHRNA3 (cholinergic receptor nicotinic alpha 3 subunit); PARTICIPATES IN acetylcholine signaling pathway via nicotinic acetylcholine receptor; nicotine pharmacodynamics pathway; nicotine pharmacokinetics pathway; INTERACTS WITH (S)-anabasine; (S)-nicotine; 1,1-dimethyl-4-phenylpiperazinium iodide.
