The MA Helix Is Important for Receptor Assembly and Function in the α4β2 nACh Receptor
Membranes, 2023 Pentameric ligand-gated ion channels (pLGICs) are expressed throughout the central and peripheral nervous systems of vertebrates and modulate many aspects of human health and disease. Recent structural and computational data indicate that cation-selective pLGICs contain a long helical extension (MA) of one of the transmembrane helices. The MA helix has
