UniProt functional annotation for P02710



	UniProt functional annotation for P02710

UniProt code: P02710.

Organism: Tetronarce californica (Pacific electric ray) (Torpedo californica).

Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Chondrichthyes; Elasmobranchii; Batoidea; Torpediniformes; Torpedinidae; Tetronarce.

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: Pentamer of two alpha chains, and one each of the beta, delta, and gamma chains.

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. Alpha-1/CHRNA1 sub- subfamily. {ECO:0000305}.
