UniProt functional annotation for P30926

UniProt code: P30926.

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo.
 
Function: After binding acetylcholine, the AChR responds by an extensive change in conformation that affects all subunits and leads to opening of an ion-conducting channel across the plasma membrane.
 
Subunit: Neuronal AChR is composed of two different types of subunits: alpha and beta. Beta-4 subunit can be combined to alpha-2, alpha-3 or alpha-4 to give rise to functional receptors. Interacts with RIC3; which is required for proper folding and assembly (PubMed:16120769). Interacts with LYPD6 (PubMed:27344019). The pentamer alpha3-beta-4 interacts with the conotoxin BuIA (By similarity). The heteropentamer composed of alpha-3 and beta-4 subunits interacts with the alpha- conotoxin ImI (PubMed:15609996). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P12392, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15609996, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16120769, ECO:0000269|PubMed:27344019}.
Subcellular location: Cell junction, synapse, postsynaptic cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.
Similarity: Belongs to the ligand-gated ion channel (TC 1.A.9) family. Acetylcholine receptor (TC 1.A.9.1) subfamily. Beta-4/CHRNB4 sub- subfamily. {ECO:0000305}.
