Chrna10 Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables transmitter-gated monoatomic ion channel activity involved in regulation of postsynaptic membrane potential. Involved in negative regulation of ERK1 and ERK2 cascade. Located in axon and perikaryon. Is active in cholinergic synapse and postsynaptic specialization membrane. Orthologous to human CHRNA10 (cholinergic receptor nicotinic alpha 10 subunit).

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 rat Chrna10 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
