Expression and function of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in stem cells

open access: yesAIMS Bioengineering, 2016
Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors are prototypical ligand gated ion channels typically found in muscular and neuronal tissues. Functional nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, however, have also recently been identified on other cell types, including stem ...

Acetylcholine receptor antagonists in acute respiratory distress syndrome: much more than muscle relaxants

open access: yesCritical Care, 2018
Acetylcholine receptor antagonists have been shown to improve outcome in patients with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome. However, it is incompletely understood how these agents improve outcome.

Genetics update: monogenetics, polygene disorders and the quest for modifying genes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The genetic channelopathies are a broad collection of diseases. Many ion channel genes demonstrate wide phenotypic pleiotropy, but nonetheless concerted efforts have been made to characterise genotype-phenotype relationships.

Discoveries and future significance of research into amyloid-beta/α7-containing nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) interactions

open access: yesPharmacological Research, 2023
Initiated by findings that Alzheimer’s disease is associated with a profound loss of cholinergic markers in human brain, decades of studies have examined the interactions between specific subtypes of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors and amyloid-β ...

Differential Contribution of Subunit Interfaces to α 9 α 10 Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor Function [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors can be assembled from either homomeric or heteromeric pentameric subunit combinations. At the interface of the extracellular domains of adjacent subunits lies the acetylcholine binding site, composed of a principal ...

Correlation of anti-acetylcholine receptor antibody levels and long-term outcomes of juvenile myasthenia gravis in Taiwan: a case control study

open access: yesBMC Neurology, 2019
Background Myasthenia gravis is the most common disease affecting the neuromuscular junction. The most common etiology among patients with juvenile myasthenia gravis is the production of antibodies against the acetylcholine receptor.

THE NATURE OF ACETYLCHOLINE RECEPTOR [PDF]

open access: yesActa Medica Iranica, 1983
The present work with consideratlon to the autoradiographic pictures, suggests that cholinergic receptors are located at the gate of a channel originating from synaptic cleft coming to lie within the muscle fibre. AChE molecules stand at the gate of this

Ancestral acetylcholine receptor β-subunit forms homopentamers that prime before opening spontaneously

open access: yeseLife, 2022
Human adult muscle-type acetylcholine receptors are heteropentameric ion channels formed from two α-subunits, and one each of the β-, δ-, and ε-subunits.
