Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables acetylcholine-gated monoatomic cation-selective channel activity. Acts upstream of or within excitatory postsynaptic potential and monoatomic cation transmembrane transport. Located in postsynaptic membrane. Part of acetylcholine-gated channel complex. Is expressed in several structures, including diaphragm; face; limb bud; rib cartilage condensation; and skeletal musculature. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in contractures, pterygia, and spondylocarpotarsal fusion syndrome. Orthologous to human CHRNG (cholinergic receptor nicotinic gamma subunit).
