What are Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors (nAChRs)?
Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) are a type of receptor found in the nervous system and at the neuromuscular junctions of skeletal muscles. They are ionotropic receptors, meaning they form an ion channel pore, and are activated by the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. These receptors play a critical role in the transmission of neural signals and are involved in various physiological processes.
