RT   resistant to alpha-bungarotoxin.";
RL   Biochemistry 34:9172-9176(1995).
CC   -!- FUNCTION: Upon acetylcholine binding, the AChR responds by an extensive
CC       change in conformation that affects all subunits and leads to opening
CC       of an ion-conducting channel across the plasma membrane.
CC       {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P02708}.
CC   -!- SUBUNIT: One of the alpha chains that assemble within the acetylcholine
CC       receptor, a pentamer of two alpha chains, a beta, a delta, and a gamma
CC       (in immature muscle) or epsilon (in mature muscle) chains. The muscle
CC       heteropentamer composed of alpha-1, beta-1, delta, epsilon subunits
CC       interacts with the alpha-conotoxin ImII.
CC       {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P02708}.
CC   -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Postsynaptic cell membrane
CC       {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P02708}; Multi-pass membrane protein
CC       {ECO:0000255}. Cell membrane {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P02708}; Multi-pass
CC       membrane protein {ECO:0000255}.
CC   -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the ligand-gated ion channel (TC 1.A.9) family.
CC       Acetylcholine receptor (TC 1.A.9.1) subfamily. Alpha-1/CHRNA1 sub-
CC       subfamily. {ECO:0000305}.
