Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionunc-38 encodes a nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) alpha subunit; UNC-38 is required for normal locomotion and egg-laying, and functions as a subunit of a ligand-gated ion channel that likely mediates fast actions of acetylcholine at neuromuscular junctions and in the nervous system; when coexpressed with ACR-2, ACR-3, UNC-29, and LEV-1, non-alpha nAChR subunits, the resulting multimer can form levamisole-gated channels; UNC-38 is expressed postsynaptically in muscles and neurons where it colocalizes with TAX-6, and with ACR-8, ACR-12, and UNC-29, respectively.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00000031

Automated_descriptionEnables acetylcholine-gated monoatomic cation-selective channel activity. Involved in several processes, including calcium ion import across plasma membrane; neuromuscular synaptic transmission; and regulation of multicellular organismal process. Located in neuron projection and postsynaptic membrane. Expressed in several structures, including body wall musculature; copulatory spicule; enteric muscle; oblique male muscle; and somatic nervous system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Alzheimer's disease; autosomal dominant nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy (multiple); congenital myasthenic syndrome (multiple); and lung disease (multiple). Is an ortholog of human CHRNA3 (cholinergic receptor nicotinic alpha 3 subunit) and CHRNA6 (cholinergic receptor nicotinic alpha 6 subunit).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943
