gene: acr-21 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to enable excitatory extracellular ligand-gated monoatomic ion channel activity and transmitter-gated monoatomic ion channel activity involved in regulation of postsynaptic membrane potential. Predicted to be involved in excitatory postsynaptic potential and monoatomic ion transmembrane transport. Predicted to be located in neuron projection and synapse. Expressed in cholinergic neurons and ventral cord neurons. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in lung small cell carcinoma. Is an ortholog of human CHRNA9 (cholinergic receptor nicotinic alpha 9 subunit).
