Ionotropic and metabotropic responses by alpha 7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors

Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) belong to a superfamily of cys-loop receptors characterized by the assembly of five subunits into a multi-protein channel complex. Ligand binding to nAChRs activates rapid allosteric transitions of the receptor leading to channel opening and ion flux in neu...
