Acetylcholine receptor subunit delta is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CHRND gene.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.
