Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in human genetic disease.

Genetics in medicine : official journal of the American College of Medical Genetics - 1 Sept 2014

Schaaf Christian P

Abstract excerpt

Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors represent a family of ligand-gated ion channels that are widely expressed in the central and peripheral nervous systems. To date, 16 genes encoding subunits of mammalian nicotinic acetylcholine receptors have been identified. The various subunits form homomeric or heteromeric receptor proteins, allowing for a complex and adaptable system of nicotinic neurotransmission. Mutations...
