After binding acetylcholine, the AChR responds by an extensive change in conformation that affects all subunits and leads to opening of an ion-conducting channel across the plasma membrane.

This product is a recombinant monoclonal antibody, which offers several advantages including:
For more information, read more on recombinant antibodies.
Our carrier-free antibodies are typically supplied in a PBS-only formulation, purified and free of BSA, sodium azide and glycerol. The carrier-free buffer and high concentration allow for increased conjugation efficiency.
This conjugation-ready format is designed for use with fluorochromes, metal isotopes, oligonucleotides, and enzymes, which makes them ideal for antibody labelling, functional and cell-based assays, flow-based assays (e.g. mass cytometry) and Multiplex Imaging applications.
Use our conjugation kits for antibody conjugates that are ready-to-use in as little as 20 minutes with 1 minute hands-on-time and 100% antibody recovery: available for fluorescent dyes, HRP, biotin and gold.
This product is compatible with the Maxpar® Antibody Labeling Kit from Fluidigm, without the need for antibody preparation. Maxpar® is a trademark of Fluidigm Canada Inc.
The Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor alpha 1 also known as CHRNA1 is an essential component of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor complex. This receptor an ion channel found in the neuromuscular junction is involved in the mechanical process of signal transmission between nerves and muscles. The protein facilitates the binding of acetylcholine a neurotransmitter which triggers an ion flow causing muscle contraction. The CHRNA1 subunit generally displays a mass of approximately 58 kDa and is widely expressed in muscle tissues.
The Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor alpha 1 has a fundamental role in neuromuscular communication. It is part of a pentameric complex in combination with other acetylcholine receptor subunits. When acetylcholine binds to the receptor the channel opens permitting cations like sodium and calcium to enter the muscle cell leading to depolarization and subsequent muscle contraction. This biological process is essential for voluntary muscle movement.
The Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor alpha 1 is involved in the neuromuscular signaling pathway. This pathway regulates muscle contraction by converting neural chemical signals into mechanical responses. In this pathway CHRNA1 interacts closely with proteins such as the acetylcholine ligand and acetylcholine receptor. These interactions ensure effective synaptic transmission at the neuromuscular junction contributing to muscle activation and relaxation cycles.
Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor alpha 1 is linked to conditions such as myasthenia gravis and congenital myasthenic syndromes. In myasthenia gravis autoantibodies targeting CHRNA1 hinder normal receptor function on muscles leading to weakness and fatigue. Additionally the protein is associated with congenital myasthenic syndromes where mutations can alter the receptor's function resulting in impaired neuromuscular transmission. The receptor's relationship with other proteins like the acetylcholine receptor and AchR protein plays an important role in these conditions often defining the severity and specific characteristics of the disorders.

The nuclear counterstain was DAPI (Blue). The section was incubated with Anti-Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor alpha 1/CHRNA1 antibody [EPR27397-4] ab308306 for 60 mins at room temperature. The section was then mounted using Fluoromount®. The immunostaining was performed on a Leica Biosystems BOND® RX instrument. Image was taken with a confocal microscope (Leica-Microsystems, TCS SP8). The nuclear counterstain was DAPI (Blue).
Secondary antibody control: Secondary antibody is Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488) preadsorbed ab150081 Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488) preadsorbed at 1/1000 dilution (2 ug/mL).
