Neuronal acetylcholine receptor subunit alpha-1, also known as nAChRα1, is a
protein that in humans is encoded by the ''CHRNA1''
gene.
The protein encoded by this gene is a subunit of certain
nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAchR).
The muscle acetylcholine receptor consists of 5 subunits of 4 different types: 2 alpha isoforms and 1 each of beta, gamma, and delta subunits.2 This gene encodes an alpha subunit that plays a role in acetylcholine binding/channel gating. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified.
