CHRNB2

Function

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 permeable to sodiun ions.

Involvement in disease

Epilepsy, nocturnal frontal lobe, 3

ENFL3

An autosomal dominant focal epilepsy characterized by nocturnal seizures with hyperkinetic automatisms and poorly organized stereotyped movements.

None

The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
