Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionlev-8 encodes a novel nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) alpha subunit that is a member of the ACR-8 group of nAChR subunits; LEV-8 activity is required for normal rates of pharyngeal pumping and for fully wild-type responses (increased egg laying and body wall muscle contraction) to the nAChR agonist and antihelmintic levamisole; expression of a LEV-8::GFP reporter construct begins at the L1 larval stage and is detected in neurons, body wall and uterine muscle cells, and socket cells of the IL and OL mechanosensory neurons; expression in body wall muscles is strongest in the anterior, consistent with increased levamisole resistance of head, or anterior, muscles seen in lev-8 mutant animals.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00000484

Automated_descriptionPredicted 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. Expressed in several structures, including DD neuron; anal depressor muscle; ganglia; head neurons; and uterine-vulval cell. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital myasthenic syndrome 1A and congenital myasthenic syndrome 1B. Is an ortholog of human CHRNA1 (cholinergic receptor nicotinic alpha 1 subunit).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943
