Description: Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) are pentameric ligand-gated ion channels. The a7 subtype of nAChRs is involved
in neurological pathologies such as Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, addiction, epilepsy and autism spectrum
disorders. The Drosophila melanogaster a7 (Da7) has the closest sequence homology to the vertebrate a7 subunit and it can
form homopentameric receptors just… more
