Definition of NAChRs. Meaning of NAChRs. Synonyms of NAChRs

- Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, or nAChRs, are receptor polypeptides that respond to the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Nicotinic receptors also respond...
- (nAChRs). The nAChR is named for its affinity for nicotine. Examples include nicotine (by definition), acetylcholine (the endogenous agonist of nAChRs)...
- receptors (nAChRs), the kappa-bungarotoxin family with neuronal nAChRs, and muscarinic toxins with muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChRs). The three-finger...
- addiction. The MHb shows a high level of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs), that are involved in many forms of addiction. Previously their expression...
- receptor to respond to different stimuli. In the VB, nAChRs can contain the subunits α4, α5, α7, and β2. nAChRs that are made up of (α4β2)2α5 are of interest...
- receptors (nAChRs) α4β2, α3β4, and α6β4, and chicken/mouse nAChRs α7/5-HT3 in certain areas of the brain. By binding to the allosteric site of the nAChRs, a conformational...
- for the neuronal α7 and muscle α12βϒδ nicotine acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs). The affinity of pinnatoxins for nAChR subtypes is the result of a selectivity...
- they are antagonists of post-synaptic nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) in the neuromuscular synapse that bind competitively and irreversibly,...
- believed to be act via antagonism of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAchRs). However, it also appears to be a competitive antagonist of GABAA and glycine...
- receptors (nAChRs) is about 100 times lower than nicotine's. Some work suggests that cotinine may be a positive allosteric modulator of α7 nAChRs. If this...
