Insect nicotinic acetylcholine receptor gene families: from genetic model organism to vector, pest and beneficial species.
Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) mediate fast synaptic transmission in the insect nervous system and are targets of a major group of insecticides, the neonicotinoids. Analyses of genome sequences have shown that nAChR gene families remain compact in diverse insect species, when compared to...
