Description of "T26H10.1" |
des-2 encodes an alpha subunit of nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR), predicted to be a ligand-gated ion channel regulating the fast action of acetylcholine at neuromuscular junctions and in the nervous system; DES-2 is coexpressed with and genetically interacts with DEG-3, which which it probably forms heteromultimers, and DES-2 falls into the 'DEG-3' class of nAChR subunits, probably unique to nematodes, which includes DEG-3, ACR-5, ACR-17, ACR-18 ACR-20, and ACR-23. |
