Acetylcholine Receptors [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of General Physiology, 1972
Using 125iodine-labeled α-bungarotoxin (α-BGT-125I) and quantitative radioautography, we have studied the time-course of the change in acetylcholine (ACh) receptor distribution and density occurring in rat diaphragm after denervation. In innervated fibers, ACh receptors are localized at the neuromuscular junction and the extrajunctional receptor ...

Anti-inflammation of spirocyclopiperazinium salt compound LXM-10 targeting α7 nAChR and M4 mAChR and inhibiting JAK2/STAT3 pathway in rats. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
The present study aims to investigate the therapeutic effects of LXM-10 by intragastric administration in both acute and chronic inflammatory models, and to explore the underlying molecular mechanisms.

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.

Recent Duplication and Functional Divergence in Parasitic Nematode Levamisole-Sensitive Acetylcholine Receptors. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2016
Helminth parasites rely on fast-synaptic transmission in their neuromusculature to experience the outside world and respond to it. Acetylcholine plays a pivotal role in this and its receptors are targeted by a wide variety of both natural and synthetic ...

Pharmacological Characterization of Itch-Associated Response Induced by Repeated Application of Oxazolone in Mice

open access: yesJournal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2010
We investigated pharmacological characteristics of the itch-associated response to chronic dermatitis induced by 4-ethoxymethylene-2-phenyl-2-oxazolin-5-one (oxazolone) repeated application in mice.

Suxamethonium-Induced Hyperkalemia: A Short Review of Causes and Recommendations for Clinical Applications

open access: yesCritical Care Research and Practice, 2021
After the introduction of suxamethonium in 1953, cases of cardiac arrest during induction of anesthesia were recorded. In the following years, hyperkalemia was identified as the cause, and the connection to acetylcholine receptor modulation as the ...

Acetylcholine and cholinergic receptors [PDF]

open access: yesBrain and Neuroscience Advances, 2019
This review provides a distillate of the advances in knowledge about the neurotransmitter functions of acetylcholine over the 50-year period between 1967 and 2017, together with incremental information about the cognate nicotinic and muscarinic acetylcholine receptors, and some brief comments on possible advances in the near future.

Acetylcholine Receptors and Tau Phosphorylation

open access: yesCurrent Molecular Medicine, 2006
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by the presence, in the brain of the patients, of two aberrant structures: intracellular neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs), containing an abnormal hyperphosphorylated form of tau protein, and extracellular senile plaques (SPs), mainly composed by fibrillar amyloid beta peptide.
