For example, while the alpha7 nAChR is primarily a homomeric receptor in neurons (127), combinations of alpha7 nAChR subunits with alpha5, beta2, or beta3 nAChR subunits have been reported to form functional heteromeric receptors in some systems (240, 360, 515). PubMed:19126755

complex(p(HGNC:CHRNA7), p(HGNC:CHRNB2)) increases a(HBP:"alpha-7 beta-2 nAChR") View Subject | View Object

In addition to the alpha4beta2 subtype, it was demonstrated that the alpha7 subunit is able to coassemble with the beta2 subunit to form a heteropentameric receptor PubMed:25514383

complex(p(HGNC:CHRNA7), p(HGNC:CHRNB2)) increases surf(a(HBP:"alpha-7 beta-2 nAChR")) View Subject | View Object

Under these experimental conditions, alpha7 and beta2 are able to co-assemble into a functional receptor that localizes at the cell surface PubMed:25514383
