Distinctive single-channel properties of α4β2-nicotinic acetylcholine receptor isoforms.

Distinctive single-channel properties of α4β2-nicotinic acetylcholine receptor isoforms.

Central nervous system nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChR) are predominantly of the α4β2 subtype. Two isoforms exist, with high or low agonist sensitivity (HS-(α4β2)2β2- and LS-(α4β2)2α4-nAChR). Both isoforms exhibit similar macroscopic potency and efficacy values at low acetylcholine (ACh) co...
