Summary from NCBI RefSeq

This gene encodes the delta subunit of the muscle-derived nicotinic acetylcholine receptor, a pentameric neurotransmitter receptor and member of the ligand-gated ion channel superfamily. The delta subunit together with the alpha subunit forms the ligand-binding site. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2012]
