Query author contributions in Reactome

Reactome depends on collaboration between our curation team and outside experts to assemble and peer-review its pathway modules. The integration of ORCID within Reactome enables us to meet a key challenge with authoring, curating and reviewing biological information by incentivizing and crediting the external experts that contribute their expertise and time to the Reactome curation process. More information is available at ORCID and Reactome.

If you have an ORCID ID that is not listed on this page, please forward this information to us and we will update your Reactome pathway records.

commentFUNCTION Component of neuronal acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) that function as pentameric, ligand-gated cation channels with high calcium permeability among other activities. nAChRs are excitatory neurotrasnmitter receptors formed by a collection of nAChR subunits known to mediate synaptic transmission in the nervous system and the neuromuscular junction. Each nAchR subunit confers differential attributes to channel properties, including activation, deactivation and desensitization kinetics, pH sensitivity, cation permeability, and binding to allosteric modulators (PubMed:11248107, PubMed:12117536, PubMed:14742688, PubMed:16306403). Forms heteropentamers with CHRNA9. Expressed in the inner ear, in sympathetic neurons and in other non-neuronal cells, such as skin keratinocytes and lymphocytes (PubMed:14742688, PubMed:16306403). nAChR formed by CHRNA9:CHRNA10 mediate central nervous system control of auditory and vestibular sensory processing. The channel is permeable to a range of divalent cations including calcium, the influx of which may activate a potassium current which hyperpolarizes the cell membrane (PubMed:11248107, PubMed:12117536). In the ear, mediates synaptic transmission between efferent olivocochlear fibers and hair cells of the cochlea, this may lead to a reduction in basilar membrane motion, altering the activity of auditory nerve fibers and reducing the range of dynamic hearing. This may protect against acoustic trauma (PubMed:11248107). May also regulate keratinocyte adhesion (By similarity).CATALYTIC ACTIVITY Ca(2+)(in) = Ca(2+)(out)CATALYTIC ACTIVITY Mg(2+)(in) = Mg(2+)(out)CATALYTIC ACTIVITY K(+)(in) = K(+)(out)CATALYTIC ACTIVITY Na(+)(in) = Na(+)(out)ACTIVITY REGULATION Activated by a myriad of ligands such as acetylcholine (PubMed:12117536). AChR activity is inhibited by the antagonist alpha-conotoxins RgIA and GeXXA, small disulfide-constrained peptides from cone snails (PubMed:25740413).SUBUNIT Forms homo- or heterooligomeric channels in conjunction with CHRNA10. The native outer hair cell receptor may be composed of CHRNA9:CHRNA10 heterooligomers. Found in the stoichiometric form (CHRNA9)2:(CHRNA10)3 (PubMed:25740413).SUBCELLULAR LOCATION Expressed in the outer hair cells of the cochlea and the neurons of dorsal root ganglia.DEVELOPMENTAL STAGE Expression in the inner hair cells of the ear is lost at the onset of hearing, around P12. This correlates with a loss of sensitivity of these cells to cholinergic stimuli.MISCELLANEOUS The heterooligomeric receptor composed of CHRNA9 and CHRNA10 has an atypical pharmacological profile, binding several non-nicotinic ligands including strychnine (a glycine receptor antagonist) and atropine (a muscarinic acetylcholine receptor antagonist).SIMILARITY Belongs to the ligand-gated ion channel (TC 1.A.9) family. Acetylcholine receptor (TC 1.A.9.1) subfamily. Alpha-10/CHRNA10 sub-subfamily.
