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. Neuronal AChR is composed of two different types of subunits: alpha and beta. Beta-4 subunit can be combined to alpha-2, alpha-3 or alpha-4 to give rise to functional receptors. Interacts with RIC3; which is required for proper folding and assembly. Interacts with LYPD6. The pentamer alpha3-beta-4 interacts with the conotoxin BuIA. The heteropentamer composed of alpha-3 and beta-4 subunits interacts with the alpha-conotoxin ImI (By similarity). Belongs to the ligand-gated ion channel (TC 1.A.9) family. Acetylcholine receptor (TC 1.A.9.1) subfamily. Beta-4/CHRNB4 sub-subfamily.
