Processes
activation of MAPK activity / associative learning / B cell activation / behavioral response to ethanol / behavioral response to nicotine / calcium ion transport / cation transmembrane transport / cellular calcium ion homeostasis / cognition / dopamine biosynthetic process / endocytosis / generation of ovulation cycle rhythm / ion transmembrane transport / ion transport / memory / negative regulation of inflammatory response / negative regulation of interleukin-1 beta production / negative regulation of interleukin-6 production / negative regulation of tumor necrosis factor production / neuronal action potential / positive regulation of angiogenesis / positive regulation of cell proliferation / positive regulation of heart rate involved in baroreceptor response to decreased systemic arterial blood pressure / regulation of membrane potential / regulation of norepinephrine secretion / regulation of synaptic transmission, dopaminergic / response to food / response to hypoxia / response to nicotine / signal transduction / sperm motility / synaptic transmission / synaptic transmission, cholinergic / T cell activation
Components
acetylcholine-gated channel complex / apical plasma membrane / asymmetric synapse / axolemma / cell junction / cytoplasm / dendritic shaft / dendritic spine / external side of plasma membrane / growth cone / integral component of membrane / membrane raft / neuron projection / neuronal cell body / plasma membrane / postsynaptic density / postsynaptic membrane / presynaptic membrane / synapse
General Function
Toxic substance binding
Specific Function
After binding acetylcholine, the AChR responds by an extensive change in conformation that affects all subunits and leads to opening of an ion-conducting channel across the plasma membrane. The channel is blocked by alpha-bungarotoxin.
