The nAChRs are ligand-gated ion channels that are present in both the PNS (at the skeletal neuromuscular junction and in the autonomic nervous system) and the CNS. PubMed:19721446
The neurotransmitter acetylcholine (ACh) is synthesised, stored and released by cholinergic neurons, and exerts its effects on the central nervous system (CNS) and peripheral nervous system (PNS) through two distinct types of receptor: the muscarinic and nicotinic ACh receptors (mAChRs and nAChRs).
