Abstract

The molecular dissection of muscle-type nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) with gene cloning techniques set the stage for similar analyses of ligand-gated ion channels in brain (Numa et al. 1983). The first neuronal representative of this gene family was described in 1986 by Heinemann, Patrick, and their colleagues with the cloning of an α-type nAChR subunit gene expressed in the vertebrate nervous system (Boulter et al. 1986). In contrast with muscle nAChRs, where the primary sequences of the α and β subunits are highly conserved, the primary structures of the neuronal nAChR α and β subunits are diverse (seeLe Novere and Changeux 1995; Ortells and Lunt 1995). The functional profiles of the resultant receptor complexes are comparably varied: neurons in both the CNS and PNS express a variety of ACh-gated channels that differ from muscle nAChRs and from one another in conductance, kinetics, ion permeability, pharmacological profile, and subcellular localization (for reviews seeSargent 1993; Patrick et al. 1993; McGehee and Role 1995).

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
