EOG8KM1H6 GO:0004889 25/87 acetylcholine-activated cation-selective channel activity molecular_function "Enables the transmembrane transfer of a cation by a channel that opens upon binding acetylcholine." [GOC:mah, PMID:2466967] EOG8KM1H6 GO:0045211 25/87 postsynaptic membrane cellular_component "A specialized area of membrane facing the presynaptic membrane on the tip of the nerve ending and separated from it by a minute cleft (the synaptic cleft). Neurotransmitters cross the synaptic cleft and transmit the signal to the postsynaptic membrane." [ISBN:0198506732] EOG8KM1H6 GO:0030054 25/87 cell junction cellular_component "A cellular component that forms a specialized region of connection between two or more cells or between a cell and the extracellular matrix. At a cell junction, anchoring proteins extend through the plasma membrane to link cytoskeletal proteins in one cell to cytoskeletal proteins in neighboring cells or to proteins in the extracellular matrix." [GOC:mah, http://www.vivo.colostate.edu/hbooks/cmb/cells/pmemb/junctions_a.html, ISBN:0198506732] EOG8KM1H6 GO:0016021 24/87 integral component of membrane cellular_component "The component of a membrane consisting of the gene products and protein complexes having at least some part of their peptide sequence embedded in the hydrophobic region of the membrane." [GOC:dos, GOC:go_curators] EOG8KM1H6 GO:0006812 1/87 cation transport biological_process "The directed movement of cations, atoms or small molecules with a net positive charge, into, out of or within a cell, or between cells, by means of some agent such as a transporter or pore." [GOC:ai] EOG8KM1H6 GO:0007271 1/87 synaptic transmission, cholinergic biological_process "The process of communication from a neuron to a target (neuron, muscle, or secretory cell) across a synapse using the neurotransmitter acetylcholine." [GOC:kmv, GOC:pr, Wikipedia:Cholinergic] EOG8KM1H6 GO:0005892 1/87 acetylcholine-gated channel complex cellular_component "A homo- or hetero-pentameric protein complex that forms a transmembrane channel through which ions may pass in response to acetylcholine binding."
