Target/Specificity | This CHRNA9 antibody is generated from a rabbit immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 8-42 amino acids from the N-terminal region of human CHRNA9. |
Dilution | WB~~1:1000 FC~~1:25 |
Format | Purified polyclonal antibody supplied in PBS with 0.09% (W/V) sodium azide. This antibody is purified through a protein A column, followed by peptide affinity purification. |
Storage | Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 2 weeks. For long term storage store at -20°C in small aliquots to prevent freeze-thaw cycles. |
Precautions | CHRNA9 Antibody (N-term) is for research use only and not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
Name | CHRNA9 |

Synonyms | NACHRA9 |
Function | Ionotropic receptor with a probable role in the modulation of auditory stimuli. Agonist binding induces a conformation change that leads to the opening of an ion-conducting channel across the plasma membrane (PubMed:11752216, PubMed:25282151). The channel is permeable to a range of divalent cations including calcium, the influx of which may activate a potassium current which hyperpolarizes the cell membrane (PubMed:11752216, PubMed:25282151). In the ear, this may lead to a reduction in basilar membrane motion, altering the activity of auditory nerve fibers and reducing the range of dynamic hearing. This may protect against acoustic trauma. May also regulate keratinocyte adhesion (PubMed:11021840). |
Cellular Location | Postsynaptic cell membrane; Multi- pass membrane protein. Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein |
Tissue Location | Expressed in cochlea, keratinocytes, pituitary gland, B-cells and T-cells. |

Background
Ionotropic receptor with a probable role in the modulation of auditory stimuli. Agonist binding may induce an extensive change in conformation that affects all subunits and leads to opening of an ion-conducting channel across the plasma membrane. The channel is permeable to a range of divalent cations including calcium, the influx of which may activate a potassium current which hyperpolarizes the cell membrane. In the ear, this may lead to a reduction in basilar membrane motion, altering the activity of auditory nerve fibers and reducing the range of dynamic hearing. This may protect against acoustic trauma. May also regulate keratinocyte adhesion.
