nicotinic receptor beta-4; neuronal acetylcholine receptor subunit beta-4 (CHRNB4)

Function

• nicotinic receptor beta
• may be component of function nicotinic receptor composed of nicotinic receptor alpha & nicotinic receptor beta subunits
• CHRNB4 can be combined CHRNA2, CHRNA3, or CHRNA4 to give rise to functional receptors
• interaction with RIC3 is required for proper folding & assembly

Structure

• belongs to the ligand-gated ionic channel (TC 1.A.9) family

Compartment

cell junction, synapse, postsynaptic cell membrane

More general terms

• nicotinic receptor beta subunit
