AChR Alpha10 Polyclonal Antibody

• Datasheet (PDF)

Optimized working dilutions depend on sample type and detection system. Titration is recommended.

Members of the ligand-gated ion channel receptor family are characterized by their fast transmitting response to neurotransmitters. Two important members of this family are the nicotinic acetylcholine and glutamate receptors, both of which are composed of five homologous subunits forming a transmembrane aqueous pore. These transmembrane receptors change conformation in response to their cognate neurotransmitter. Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (AChRs) are found at the postsynaptic membrane of the neuromuscular junction and bind acetylcholine molecules, allowing ions to move through the pore. Glutamate receptors are found in the postsynaptic membrane of cells in the central nervous system. The activity that is generated at the synapse by the binding of acetylcholine is terminated by acetylcholinesterase, an enzyme that rapidly hydrolyzes acetylcholine. AChRα10, also known as CHRNA10, is a 450 amino acid multi-pass membrane protein expressed in inner-ear tissue, tonsil, immortalized B-cells, cultured T-cells and peripheral blood lymphocytes. AChRα10 forms a hetero-oligomeric channels in conjunction with AChRα9 and is considered an ionotropic receptor with a probable role in the modulation of auditory stimuli.
