Acetylcholine receptor subunit alpha is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CHRNA1 gene.[4]

The muscle acetylcholine receptor consists of 5 subunits of 4 different types: 2 alpha isoforms and 1 each of beta, gamma, and delta subunits.2 This gene encodes an alpha subunit that plays a role in acetlycholine binding/channel gating. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified.[4]

Interactions

Cholinergic receptor, nicotinic, alpha 1 has been shown to interact with CHRND.[5][6]
