Massive expansion and diversity of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in lophotrochozoans

Massive expansion and diversity of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in lophotrochozoans

Abstract Background Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) are among the oldest and most conserved transmembrane receptors involved in signal transduction. Despite the prevalence and significance of cholinergic signaling, the diversity and evolution of nAChRs are not fully understood. Result By...
