Acetylcholine receptor subunit alpha is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CHRNA1 gene.The muscle acetylcholine receptor consists of 5 subunits of 4 different types: 2 alpha isoforms and 1 each of beta gamma and delta subunits.2 This gene encodes an alpha subunit that plays a role in acetlycholine binding/channel gating. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified.
