| Function |
Promotes functional expression of homomeric alpha-7 and alpha-8 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors at the cell surface. May also promote functional expression of homomeric serotoninergic 5- HT3 receptors, and of heteromeric acetylcholine receptors alpha- 3/beta-2, alpha-3/beta-4, alpha-4/beta-2 and alpha-4/beta-4. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12821669, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15504725, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15809299, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15927954, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16120769, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17609200, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18691158}.

| Subcellular Location |
Isoform 1: Endoplasmic reticulum membrane; Single-pass membrane protein.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Broadly expressed, with high levels in muscle, brain, heart, pancreas and testis. In the central nervous system, highest levels are detected in the cerebellum and pituitary gland. Over-expressed in brains from patients with bipolar disease or schizophrenia. Isoform 5 is predominantly expressed in the brain. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12821669, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17640815, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18691158}.
