AChRα1 Antibody (6) is a rat monoclonal IgG1 antibody that detects AChRα1 in Torpedo and Electrophorus species through western blotting (WB) and immunofluorescence (IF). AChRα1, also known as ACHRD, CHRNA, CMS2A, FCCMS, SCCMS, or CHRNA1, is a crucial component of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor family, functioning as a multi-pass membrane protein composed of 482 amino acids. AChRα1 plays a vital role in neuromuscular transmission by forming a transmembrane aqueous pore that allows ions to flow in response to acetylcholine binding, which is essential for muscle contraction and overall neuromuscular function. AChRα1 exists in two alternatively spliced isoforms, with isoform 1 being specifically expressed in skeletal muscle, while isoform 2 is widely distributed across various tissues, including the brain, heart, kidney, liver, lung, and thymus. The presence of these isoforms highlights AChRα1′s diverse functional roles in different physiological contexts, making anti-AChRα1 antibody (6) an invaluable tool for researchers exploring neurotransmission and receptor function in both normal and pathological states.
