CHRNA6 refers to the gene that encodes the alpha-6 subunit of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR). Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors are a class of receptors that mediate synaptic transmission in the nervous system and are involved in various physiological processes, including muscle contraction, cognition, and reward pathways. The CHRNA6 gene is located on chromosome 8 in humans and is part of the ligand-gated ion channel family.
