The CHRNE gene provides instructions for making the epsilon (ε) component (subunit) of the acetylcholine receptor (AChR) protein. The AChR protein consists of five subunits, each of which is produced from a different gene.
Normal function
The CHRNE gene provides instructions for making the epsilon (ε) component (subunit) of the acetylcholine receptor (AChR) protein. The AChR protein consists of five subunits, each of which is produced from a different gene.
The AChR protein is found on the surface of skeletal muscle cells, which are used to move the body. The AChR protein plays a critical role in the neuromuscular junction, which is the area between nerve and muscle cells where cell signaling occurs. Signaling between nerve and muscle cells is necessary for movement.
The AChR protein subunits assemble into the protein in the endoplasmic reticulum, a cell structure involved in protein processing and transport. The AChR protein is then transported to the cell surface. There are two major forms of the AChR protein: a fetal type that is present before birth and an adult type. The ε subunit is found only in the adult AChR protein. At about the 33rd week of pregnancy, the ε subunit replaces the gamma (γ) subunit (which is found only in the fetal type of AChR) to form the adult AChR protein.
