Diversity of insect nicotinic acetylcholine receptor subunits.

Advances in experimental medicine and biology - 1 Jan 2010

Jones Andrew K, Sattelle David B

Abstract excerpt

Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) are ligand-gated ion channels that mediate fast synaptic transmission in the insect nervous system and are targets of a major group of insecticides, the neonicotinoids. They consist of five subunits arranged around a central ion channeL Since the subunit composition determines the functional and pharmacological properties of the receptor the presence of nAChR families...
