High impact information on CHRNB4

  • The gene encoding another abundant AChR subunit, the alpha3-subunit gene (CHRNA3), is present with those encoding two other subunits, CHRNB4 and CHRNA5, in a gene cluster whose functional role is still unclear [1].
  • The genomic structure of CHRNA5 and CHRNB4 is here reported [2].
