Gene information for CHRNA9 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID55584
Official gene symbolCHRNA9
Full namecholinergic receptor, nicotinic, alpha 9
Aliases,HSA243342,MGC142109,MGC142135,NACHRA9,
Gene summaryThis gene is a member of the ligand-gated ionic channel family and nicotinic acetylcholine receptor gene superfamily. It encodes a plasma membrane protein that forms homo- or hetero-oligomeric divalent cation channels. This protein is involved in cochlea hair cell development and is also expressed in the outer hair cells (OHCs) of the adult cochlea. The protein is additionally expressed in keratinocytes, the pituitary gland, B-cells and T-cells. [provided by RefSeq]
