Chrm5 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Predicted to enable G protein-coupled acetylcholine receptor activity. Acts upstream of or within dopamine transport and transmission of nerve impulse. Predicted to be located in postsynaptic membrane. Predicted to be active in dendrite; plasma membrane; and synapse. Is expressed in central nervous system and retina. Orthologous to human CHRM5 (cholinergic receptor muscarinic 5). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2025]

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Chrm5 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
  • G-protein coupled receptor
  • G-protein coupled acetylcholine receptor
  • intracellular loop
  • 7 transmembrane receptor (rhodopsin family)
  • protein binding
