Gene information for CHRNB2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID1141
Official gene symbolCHRNB2
Full namecholinergic receptor, nicotinic, beta 2 (neuronal)
Aliases,EFNL3,nAChRB2,
Gene summaryNeuronal acetylcholine receptors are homo- or heteropentameric complexes composed of homologous alpha and beta subunits. They belong to a superfamily of ligand-gated ion channels which allow the flow of sodium and potassium across the plasma membrane in response to ligands such as acetylcholine and nicotine. This gene encodes one of several beta subunits. Mutations in this gene are associated with autosomal dominant nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy. [provided by RefSeq]
