Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors and nicotinic cholinergic mechanisms of the central nervous system.

Annual Review of Pharmacology and Toxicology, 2007
Subtypes of neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) are constructed from numerous subunit combinations that compose channel-receptor complexes with varied functional and pharmacological characteristics. Structural and functional diversity and

The Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor

1985
The acetylcholine receptor (AcChR) from Torpedo electroplax has been isolated both in its native membrane-bound state and by affinity chromatography after solubilization (see Conti-Tronconi and Raftery, 1982). Purified membrane fragments can reseal, forming closed, right-side-out vesicles, which can be used for both functional and structural studies ...

Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors and Epilepsy

Current Drug Target -CNS & Neurological Disorders, 2002
The neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) have multiple roles in the brain: they are involved in signal transduction by fast synaptic transmission, axo-axonic transmission, and in the modulation of presynaptic transmitter release. Presynaptic nAChRs can increase the release of excitatory as well as of inhibitory transmitters, and can ...

Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors

2003
Publisher Summary This chapter deals with nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) are cholinergic receptors that form ligand-gated ion channels in the plasma membranes of certain neurons and on the postsynaptic side of the neuromuscular junction. As ionotropic receptors, nAChRs are directly linked to ion channels
