Gene

acr-2

Species
Caenorhabditis elegans
Symbol
acr-2
Name
AcetylCholine Receptor 2
Synonyms
  • CELE_K11G12.2
  • K11G12.2
Biotype
protein coding gene
Automated Description
Enables acetylcholine-gated monoatomic cation-selective channel activity. Involved in several processes, including calcium ion import across plasma membrane; neuromuscular synaptic transmission; and positive regulation of translation. Located in neuron projection. Is expressed in several structures, including AVE; DVB; cholinergic neurons; somatic nervous system; and vulval muscle. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including alcohol dependence; alcohol use disorder; cocaine abuse; cocaine dependence; and lung cancer (multiple). Orthologous to human CHRNA3 (cholinergic receptor nicotinic alpha 3 subunit) and CHRNA6 (cholinergic receptor nicotinic alpha 6 subunit).
WB Description
A homolog of a non-alpha type nicotinic acetylcholine receptor subunit that forms a functional channel when co-expressed with the unc-38 alpha subunit.
