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

Cloning and characterization of the hamster and guinea pig nicotinic acid receptors
Journal of Lipid Research, 2007 In this study, we present the identification and characterization of hamster and guinea pig nicotinic acid receptors. The hamster receptor shares ∼80–90% identity with the nucleotide and amino acid sequences of human, mouse, and rat receptors. The guinea

Scientific Opinion on the safety and efficacy of niacin (nicotinic acid and nicotinamide) as a feed additive for all animal species based on a dossier submitted by Vertellus Specialties Belgium BV [PDF]
EFSA Journal, 2012 <p>The term ‘niacin’ is used as a generic description of nicotinic acid and nicotinamide with pyridine as the basic structure. Nicotinic acid and nicotinamide function mainly as precursors of the co-enzymes NAD and NADP.

The plasma free fatty acid rebound induced by nicotinic acid
Journal of Lipid Research, 1967 The time course of the nicotinic acid-induced changes in levels of plasma free fatty acids (FFA) was examined. The plasma FFA response of fasted dogs to graded doses of nicotinic acid was shown to be biphasic: an initial depression of the level of plasma
