Cholinergic Receptor, Nicotinic, alpha 7, Exons 5-10 (CHRFAM7A, CHRNA7 and FAM7A Family with Sequence Similarity 7A, Exons A-E Fusion, CHRNA7, CHRNA7-DR1, CHRNA7-FAM7A Fusion Protein, D-10, MGC120482, MGC120483)

The nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) are members of a superfamily of ligand-gated ion channels that mediate fast signal transmission at synapses. The family member CHRNA7, which is located on chromosome 15 in a region associated with several neuropsychiatric disorders, is partially duplicated and forms a hybrid with a novel gene from the family with sequence similarity 7 (FAM7A). Alternative splicing has been observed, and two variants exist, for this hybrid gene. The N-terminally truncated products predicted by the largest open reading frames for each variant would lack the majority of the neurotransmitter-gated ion-channel ligand binding domain but retain the transmembrane region that forms the ion channel. Although current evidence supports transcription of this hybrid gene, translation of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor-like protein-encoding open reading frames has not been confirmed.\n\nApplications:\nSuitable for use in ELISA. Other applications not tested.\n\nRecommended Dilution:\nELISA:1:1000\nOptimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.\n\nPositive Control:\nHuman Brain (Amygdala, Hippocampus, Cerebellum) lysates\n\nStorage and Stability:\nMay be stored at 4 degrees C for short-term only. For long-term storage and to avoid repeated freezing and thawing, aliquot and store at -20 degrees C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 monthsat -20 degrees C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.\n\nPeptide Blocking:\nCorresponding peptide is available for Peptide Blocking studies. See C5062-74-P. Antibody
