Gene: CHRND

Alternate names for this Gene: ACHRD|CMS2A|CMS3A|CMS3B|CMS3C|FCCMS|SCCMS

Gene Summary: The acetylcholine receptor of muscle has 5 subunits of 4 different types: 2 alpha and 1 each of beta, gamma and delta subunits. After acetylcholine binding, the receptor undergoes an extensive conformation change that affects all subunits and leads to opening of an ion-conducting channel across the plasma membrane. Defects in this gene are a cause of multiple pterygium syndrome lethal type (MUPSL), congenital myasthenic syndrome slow-channel type (SCCMS), and congenital myasthenic syndrome fast-channel type (FCCMS). Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 2

Location in Chromosome : 2q37.1

Description of this Gene: cholinergic receptor nicotinic delta subunit

Type of Gene: protein-coding

Gene: PRSS56

Alternate names for this Gene: MCOP6

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a protein that contains a peptidase S1 domain and possesses trypsin-like serine protease activity. The encoded protein may play a role in eye development, and mutations in this gene are a cause of autosomal recessive posterior microphthalmos.
