Characterization of the deg-3/des-2 receptor: a nicotinic acetylcholine receptor that mutates to cause neuronal degeneration.

Molecular and cellular neurosciences - 1 Mar 2001

Abstract excerpt

The nicotinic acetylcholine receptor family (nAChR) is a large family of acetylcholine-gated cation channels. Here we characterize the Caenorhabditis elegans DEG-3/DES-2 nAChR, a receptor identified due to its involvement in neuronal degeneration. Pharmacological analysis of a DEG-3/DES-2 recepto...
