Cholinergic receptor, nicotinic, alpha 5, also known as CHRNA5, is a human gene.[1]

Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs), such as CHRNA5, are members of a superfamily of ligand-gated ion channels that mediate fast signal transmission at synapses. The nAChRs are thought to be (hetero)pentamers composed of homologous subunits. See MIM 118508 for additional background information on AChRs.[supplied by OMIM][1]
