acr-6 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to enable acetylcholine-gated monoatomic cation-selective channel activity. Predicted to be involved in excitatory postsynaptic potential and monoatomic ion transmembrane transport. Predicted to be located in neuron projection and synapse. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in lung disease (multiple); nicotine dependence; and stomach cancer. Is an ortholog of human CHRNA3 (cholinergic receptor nicotinic alpha 3 subunit) and CHRNA6 (cholinergic receptor nicotinic alpha 6 subunit).
