Format | Liquid in PBS containing 50% glycerol, 0.5% BSA and 0.09% (W/V) sodium azide. |
Storage Conditions | -20℃ |
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. |
