== Disease ==

[[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/ACHA7_HUMAN ACHA7_HUMAN]] 15q13.3 microdeletion syndrome.

== Function ==

[[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/ACHA7_HUMAN ACHA7_HUMAN]] After binding acetylcholine, the AChR responds by an extensive change in conformation that affects all subunits and leads to opening of an ion-conducting channel across the plasma membrane. The channel is blocked by alpha-bungarotoxin.

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==

The alpha7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor plays critical roles in the central nervous system and in the cholinergic inflammatory pathway. This ligand-gated ion channel assembles as a homopentamer, is exceptionally permeable to Ca(2+), and desensitizes faster than any other Cys-loop receptor. The alpha7 receptor has served as a prototype for the Cys-loop superfamily yet has proven refractory to structural analysis. We present cryo-EM structures of the human alpha7 nicotinic receptor in a lipidic environment in resting, activated, and desensitized states, illuminating the principal steps in the gating cycle. The structures also reveal elements that contribute to its function, including a C-terminal latch that is permissive for channel opening, and an anionic ring in the extracellular vestibule that contributes to its high conductance and calcium permeability. Comparisons among the alpha7 structures provide a foundation for mapping the gating cycle and reveal divergence in gating mechanisms in the Cys-loop receptor superfamily.
