Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables acetylcholine-gated monoatomic cation-selective channel activity. Contributes to acetylcholine binding activity. Acts upstream of or within regulation of membrane potential. Located in plasma membrane. Part of acetylcholine-gated channel complex. Is active in neuromuscular junction and postsynaptic specialization membrane. Is expressed in diaphragm; face; skeletal musculature; somite; and trunk. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital myasthenic syndrome 3A; congenital myasthenic syndrome 3B; and congenital myasthenic syndrome 3C. Orthologous to human CHRND (cholinergic receptor nicotinic delta subunit).
