Neuronal Acetylcholine Receptor Subunit ?-5 (NACHRA5) is a member of the ligand-gated ion channel family. Neuronal AChR is composed of two different type of subunits: ? and non-?. When NACHRA5 binds to acetylcholine, the AChR responds by an extensive change in conformation that affects all subunits, leading to the opening of an ion-conducting channel across the plasma membrane. Genetic variations in NACHRA5 have been related to susceptibility to smoking-related behavioral traits and lung cancer, contributing to the smoking quantitative trait locus 3.
