p(HBP:"alpha-7-containing nAChR") increases bp(GO:"calcium ion transport into cytosol") View Subject | View Object

Receptors composed of alpha7 subunits are known to desensitize rapidly and to have a high Ca2+:Na+ permeability ratio that exceeds that of the glutamate NMDA receptor, and the 3-4:1 ratio of most other nAChRs (8, 68, 78, 387). As a result, quite distinctly from other nAChRs and even other ligand-activated ion channels, the opening of alpha7 nAChR channels can impact on several Ca2+-dependent mechanisms, including activation of second messenger pathways (328, 456).

For example, those that contain the α 7 subunit ( α 7 * ) as a homomeric or heteromeric receptor most commonly also have accompany- ing characteristics. They bind α -bungarotoxin, have relatively low affinity for nicotine and have relatively fast kinetics. PubMed:26472524
