Again, despite numerous reports of a block of alpha7, one study indicated that Abeta failed to block alpha7, even though it blocked alpha4beta2, alpha2beta2 and alpha4alpha5beta2 receptors (Lamb et al., 2005). PubMed:19293145

For example, as discussed above, at least five functional nAChR subtypes have been identified in dopaminergic terminals in the striatum: α4α6β2β3, α6β2β3 and α6β2, which have the highest sensitivity to nicotine, and α4β2 and α4α5β2, which are more numerous than the α6-containing subtypes, yet with lower affinity for nicotine105,106,204.
