Summary: Enables acetylcholine binding activity and heterocyclic compound binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including membrane depolarization; positive regulation of transmission of nerve impulse; and synaptic signaling. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including behavioral response to nicotine; neuronal action potential; and synaptic transmission involved in micturition. Located in plasma membrane. Part of acetylcholine-gated channel complex. Biomarker of depressive disorder. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cocaine abuse; lung cancer (multiple); nicotine dependence; and oral cavity cancer. Orthologous to human CHRNB4 (cholinergic receptor nicotinic beta 4 subunit). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

Results suggest the fast nAChR current in cutaneous dorsal root ganglia neurons was carried by homomeric alpha7 nAChRs while the slow current was carried by heteromeric (most likely alpha3beta4) nAChRs

Four genes were significantly downregulated in the PFC [prefrontal cortex ]of SHR[spontaneously hypertensive rat ] compared to Wistar rats (Gad2, Chrnb4, Slc5a7, and Qrfpr) and none in nucleus accumbens.

alpha6beta4* nAChRs are among the subtypes expressed by dorsal root ganglion neurons, and to our knowledge, this is the first demonstration of alpha6beta4* in neurons outside the CNS
Title: Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in dorsal root ganglion neurons include the α6β4* subtype.
The role of negatively charged amino acids in the F-loop of the beta 4 subunit in channel activation and desensitization was studied using the patch-clamp technique.

Immunocytochemistry revealed most chromaffin cells positive for beta4 proteins. And suggest that the most frequently encountered receptors of rat chromaffin cells should comprise alpha3beta4, alpha3beta2 with the addition of alpha5 subunits.

Only residues belonging to two beta2 segments, 74-89 and 106-115, confer up-regulation to beta4, mainly by decreasing the amount of binding sites in the absence of nicotine; the beta4 microdomain is sufficient to confer to beta2 a beta4-like up-regulation
Title: An extracellular protein microdomain controls up-regulation of neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors by nicotine.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
