Normally, acetylcholine works by attaching to special “docking sites” on cells called nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, which help send signals in the brain and nervous system.

Four-time Grammy-winning vocalist and powerhouse producer, composer, and independent record label founder Erykah Badu is teaming up with hip-hop producer The Alchemist for a new tour.

Nicotine works by binding to receptors in the brain called “nicotinic acetylcholine receptors.” These receptors are important in learning, memory, attention, and neuroprotection.

Rediscovering the first known cellular receptor Study applies new techniques to reexamine a receptor linked to sepsis and resolve contradictions regarding its binding interactions with other ...

The neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) is a developmentally regulated, major histocompatibility complex class I –related molecule that binds IgG and albumin in a pH-dependent manner.

To elucidate the principal interaction of nicotine (NIC) with the binding pocket of nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR), a simplified model complex comprising of N′-methyl-indolyl-2-propanamide ...

In participants with acetylcholine receptor antibody–positive or muscle-specific kinase antibody–positive generalized myasthenia gravis, inebilizumab improved function and reduced disease ...

Nicotine molecules bind to the body’s nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, which are involved in regulating the dopamine reward system, and the resulting feel-good sensation is what makes nicotine ...

Hosoi, R., Ishikawa, M., Kobayashi, K., Gee, A., Yamaguchi, M. and Inoue, O. (2003) Effect of Rolipram on Muscarinic Acetylcholine Receptor Binding in the Intact ...

As mentioned, some of these alkaloids work on the central nervous system’s opioid receptors, binding to them as partial agonists.

This dual binding, sheds new light on how the receptor interacts with diverse chemical compounds, including those that cause bitterness. This discovery gives us a new clue into how TAS2R14 works.
