This is an alpha subunit of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor accounts for the rye mutant phenotype. Expression pattern of redeye (green). Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert! are not responsible ...

The nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) are ligand-gated ion channels, the activity of which modulates many neurotransmitter systems. They are therefore therapeutic targets for the ...

Preliminary scientific report. Oliveira, A.S.F. et al. (2020). Simulations support the interaction of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein with nicotinic acetylcholine receptors and suggest subtype ...

Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors are a family of ligand-gated, pentameric ion channels. In human, 16 different subunits (α1–7, α9–10, β1–4, δ, ε, γ) have been identified that form a ...

Study: An experimental test of the nicotinic hypothesis of COVID-19. Image Credit: Nhemz/Shutterstock. A new study published in PNAS Physiology confirmed that the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein does not ...

In patients who have myasthenia gravis, antibodies that react with nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in muscle disrupt transmission at the neuromuscular junction. 1 Normally, nicotinic ...

Bionomics has collaborated with MSD to identify novel α7 nAChR PAMs suitable for the treatment of cognitive disorders like Alzheimer’s DiseaseBased on the learnings from Bionomics’ candidate ...
