| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables acetylcholine-gated monoatomic cation-selective channel activity. Acts upstream of or within detection of mechanical stimulus involved in sensory perception of sound; inner ear morphogenesis; and monoatomic cation transport. Predicted to be part of acetylcholine-gated channel complex. Predicted to be active in cholinergic synapse; neuron projection; and postsynaptic specialization membrane. Is expressed in brain. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in lung small cell carcinoma. Orthologous to human CHRNA9 (cholinergic receptor nicotinic alpha 9 subunit). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mutation of this gene results in abnormal innervation of the outer hair cells and depressed olivocochlear response. [provided by MGI curators] |
