Abstract excerpt
The subcellular localization and functional significance of neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptor alpha4-subunits were investigated in the rat hypothalamic supraoptic nucleus. A high level of alpha4 mRNA expression was found in the magnocellular neurons in the supraoptic nucleus. Strong immunoreactitivy for alpha4 in neurons of the supraoptic nucleus was detected in the rough endoplasmic reticulum and...
