The amino terminal domain of the human α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor subunit leads to the functional expression of human/insect receptors

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 183, Issue 13, Page 3517-3537, July 2026.
Human α7 receptors have been characterised in terms of pharmacological properties. Insertion of the N‐terminal domain of the human α7 subunit leads to honeybee and cockroach chimeric receptors activated by ACh and inhibited by α‐Bgt. Insertion of the human cys‐loop leads to cockroach chimeric receptors modulated by PNU.
