    Summary
    Predicted to enable neurotransmitter receptor activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including chemical synaptic transmission; ion transmembrane transport; and regulation of membrane potential. Predicted to be located in postsynaptic membrane. Predicted to be integral component of membrane. Predicted to be active in neuron projection and synapse. Predicted to be integral component of plasma membrane. Is expressed in intestine; muscle cell; and neurons. Orthologous to human CHRFAM7A (CHRNA7 (exons 5-10) and FAM7A (exons A-E) fusion).
