nicotinic receptor epsilon; acetylcholine receptor subunit epsilon (CHRNE, ACHRE)

Function: - nicotinic receptor subunit (muscle) - subunit of nicotinic receptor (muscle), a pentamer of two alpha chains, & one each of the beta, delta, & gamma (in immature muscle) or epsilon (in mature muscle) chains Structure: - belongs to the ligand-gated ionic channel (TC 1.A.9) family Compartment: - cell junction, synapse, postsynaptic cell membrane Pathology: - muscle nicotinic receptor is the major target antigen in the autoimmune disease myasthenia gravis - defects in CHRNE are a cause of a) congenital myasthenic syndrome slow-channel type b) congenital myasthenic syndrome fast-channel type c) congenital myasthenic syndrome with acetylcholine receptor deficiency (ACHRDCMS)
