Important Note:
By default, qPCR primer pairs are designed to measure the expression level of the splice variant (accession number) you selected for this gene WITHOUT consideration of other possible variants of this gene. If this gene has multiple variants, and you would like to measure the expression levels of one particular variant, multiple variants, or all variants, please contact us for a custom service project at inquiry@genecopoeia.com.

Summary
Neuronal acetylcholine receptors are homo- or heteropentameric complexes composed of homologous alpha and beta subunits. They belong to a superfamily of ligand-gated ion channels which allow the flow of sodium and potassium across the plasma membrane in response to ligands such as acetylcholine and nicotine.
Gene References into function
- Changes in nicotinic acetylcholine receptor subunits expression in brain of patients with Down syndrome and Alzheimer's disease.
- CHRNB2 is a logical candidate for influencing smoking behavior and nicotine dependence
- autosomal dominant nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy probands were analyzed for the presence of V287L and V287M mutations in the CHRNB2 gene. No mutations in the analyzed region of CHRNB2 found.
- Mutations of the gene encoding CHRNB2 may be linked to nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy.
- CHRNB2 subunit is expressed in the soma of the majority of pyramidal cells, with the most beta 2 immunoreactivity observed in CA2-4 and entorhinal cortex and relatively less in CA1 and subicular pyramidal cell soma.
- Mutations in genes coding for the alpha 4 and beta 2 subunits of the neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptor receptor (CHRN) are known to cause autosomal dominant nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy (ADNFLE).
- A significant association for Alzheimer's disease is observed for a non-coding polymorphism in CHRNB2 subunit.
- Nicotinic acetylcholine receptor beta 2 subunit polymorphisms are not a useful marker for prediction of the susceptibility.to febrile seizures.
- Reduced gene expression of the alpha4beta2 nicotinic receptor in the cerebral cortex is a major feature of the neurochemical pathology of autism, whilst post-transcriptional abnormalities of both this and the alpha7 subtype are apparent in the cerebellum
- A common haplotype of the nicotine acetylcholine receptor alpha 4 subunit gene is associated with vulnerability to nicotine addiction in men
- alpha3beta2 nicotinic receptor has a role in regulating gene expression after tobacco exposure in oral epithelial cells
- Here, we report a new CHRNB2 mutation located in transmembrane region 3 (M3), outside the known ADNFLE mutation cluster. The CHRNB2 mutation I312M, which occurred de novo in twins, markedly increases the receptor's sensitivity to acetylcholine.
- nicotinic modulation of thalamo-cortical circuitry as a key component in the control of conscious awareness in dementia with Lewy bodies
- M1 domains on both alpha4 and beta2 play an important role for efficient expression of extracellular domain alpha4beta2 nAChRs that are high fidelity structural models of full-length alpha4beta2 nAChR
- nicotine-induced up-regulation of alpha4beta2 acetylcholine receptors resulted primarily from an increase in assembly from large pools of unassembled subunits, but up-regulation also resulted from a 5-fold increase in the lifetime in the surface membrane
- analysis of single channel conductance within the large cytoplasmic loop of 5-hydroxytryptamine type 3 and alpha4beta2 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors
- Our present study provided the first line of direct evidence suggesting that the CHRNA4 gene combined with CHRNB2 receptor gene may be linked to schizophrenia.
- Greater beta2*-nAChR availability during early abstinence may impact the ability of smokers to maintain abstinence.
- This study provides the first evidence for association between the CHRNB2 gene and nicotine- and alcohol-related phenotypes, and suggests that polymorphisms in CHRNB2 may be important in mediating early responses to nicotine and alcohol.
- To our knowledge, this is the third family reported presenting a mutation in CHRNB2 in nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy.
- results do not demonstrate a significant genetic difference in 7 markers from the CHRNA4 and CHRNB2 genes between schizophrenia patients who smoke and those who do not
- Genetic testing revealed the CHRNB2 mutation I312M in transmembrane region 3 (M3) of the neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptor.
- An SNP (rs2072661) in the 3' UTR region of the CHRNB2 has an impact on abstinence rates at the end of treatment and after a 6-month follow-up period.
- CHRNA4 and CHRNB2 do not play a major role in Japanese schizophrenia.
- Results suggest that neither CHRNA4 nor CHRNB2 plays a major role in Japanese methamphetamine-use disorder.
