International Union of Pharmacology. XX. Current status of the nomenclature for nicotinic acetylcholine receptors and their subunits.

Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nACh receptors2) in jawed vertebrates are prototypical members of the multisubunit, neurotransmitter-gated superfamily of ion channels (ionotropic neurotransmitter receptors; see Section IV for selected seminal papers, reviews, and collections). nACh receptors
