Molecular and pharmacological characterization of an acetylcholine-gated chloride channel (ACC-2) from the parasitic nematode Haemonchus contortus
Nematode cys-loop ligand-gated ion channels (LGICs) have been shown to be attractive targets for the development of novel anti-parasitic drugs. The ACC-1 family of receptors are a unique group of acetylcholine-gated chloride channels present only in invertebrates, and sequence analysis suggests that...
