Description

The Cholinergic Receptor, Nicotinic, alpha 7, Exons 5-10 (CHRFAM7A, CHRNA7 FAM7A Family with Sequence Similarity 7A, Exons A-E CHRNA7, CHRNA7-DR1, CHRNA7-FAM7A Protein, D-10, MGC120482, MGC120483)[Cholinergic Receptor, Nicotinic, alpha 7, Exons 5-10] is a α- or alpha protein sometimes glycoprotein present in blood.Fusion proteins or chimeric proteins are proteins created through the joining of two or more genes that originally coded for separate proteins. A GFP gene is often used as tag to a reporter gene. Fusion lentiverctors can be used as viral particles to produce proteins that carry for example a GFP tag. Antigen purification of recombinant fusion tag proteins is a frequent strategy using a Fralg tag.The receptors are ligand binding factors of type 1, 2 or 3 and protein-molecules that receive chemical-signals from outside a cell. When such chemical-signals couple or bind to a receptor, they cause some form of cellular/tissue-response, e.g. a change in the electrical-activity of a cell. In this sense, am olfactory receptor is a protein-molecule that recognizes and responds to endogenous-chemical signals, chemokinesor cytokines e.g. an acetylcholine-receptor recognizes and responds to its endogenous-ligand, acetylcholine. However, sometimes in pharmacology, the term is also used to include other proteins that are drug-targets, such as enzymes, transporters and ion-channels.
