The amino terminal domain of the human α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor subunit leads to the functional expression of human/insect receptors
Key Points
This research aims to explore the role of the amino terminal domain of the human α7 nicotinic receptor in the functional expression of chimeric insect receptors.
Insights into the pharmacological properties of insect α7 homomeric receptors
Potential applications for understanding insecticide interactions
Abstract
This study identifies chimeric insect receptors which can be used to study the pharmacological properties of insect α7 homomeric receptors, to aid the understanding of insecticide compounds.
