Abstract excerpt
The alpha7 subunit of the neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptor, when expressed in Xenopus oocytes, forms homooligomeric ligand-gated ion channels that are blocked by a snake toxin, alpha-bungarotoxin. The amino-terminal extracellular domain of the alpha7 sequence has three consensus sites for asparagine-linked glycosylation (N46DS, N90MS, and N133AS). In this study, we show that alpha7 expressed either in...
