Gene information for CHRNB1 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID1140
Official gene symbolCHRNB1
Full namecholinergic receptor, nicotinic, beta 1 (muscle)
Aliases,ACHRB,CHRNB,CMS1D,CMS2A,FLJ57107,SCCMS,
Gene summaryThe muscle acetylcholine receptor is composed of five subunits: two alpha subunits and one beta, one gamma, and one delta subunit. This gene encodes the beta subunit of the acetylcholine receptor. The acetylcholine receptor changes conformation upon acetylcholine binding leading to the opening of an ion-conducting channel across the plasma membrane. Mutations in this gene are associated with slow-channel congenital myasthenic syndrome. [provided by RefSeq]
