Abstract excerpt
The effect of lysophosphatidic acid (lysoPA) on acetylcholine (ACh)-evoked currents was examined using normal and mutant Torpedo nicotinic ACh receptors expressed in Xenopus oocytes. LysoPA enhanced ACh-evoked currents in a washing time- and dose-dependent manner at concentrations of 0.1-3 microM, reaching a maximum of 210% 30 min after treatment, and instead, higher concentrations of lysoPA potentiated to a...
