Description | Rabbit IgG polyclonal antibody for Neuronal acetylcholine receptor subunit alpha-5(CHRNA5) detection. Background: Neuronal acetylcholine receptor subunit alpha-5 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CHRNA5 gene. It is mapped to 15q25.1. The protein encoded by this gene is a nicotinic acetylcholine receptor subunit and a member of a superfamily of ligand-gated ion channels that mediate fast signal transmission at synapses. These receptors are thought to be heteropentamers composed of separate but similar subunits. Defects in this gene have been linked to susceptibility to lung cancer type 2 (LNCR2). |
Immunogen | Immunogen: A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence at the N-terminus of human CHRNA5 (44-76aa AKHEDSLLKDLFQDYERWVRPVEHLNDKIKIKF), different from the related mouse sequence by five amino acids, and from the related rat sequence by four amino acids. |
