Differential regulation of alpha7 nicotinic receptor gene (CHRNA7) expression in schizophrenic smokers.

Journal of molecular neuroscience : MN - 1 Jan 2010

Abstract excerpt

The alpha7 neuronal nicotinic receptor gene (CHRNA7) has been implicated in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia by genetic and pharmacological studies. Expression of the alpha7* receptor, as measured by [(125)I]alpha-bungarotoxin autoradiography, is decreased in postmortem brain of schizophrenic...
