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. {ECO:0000250}.

Subcellular Localization

Cell junction, synapse, postsynaptic cell membrane {ECO:0000250}; Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000250}. Cell membrane {ECO:0000250}; Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000250}.
