a(MESH:"nicotinic receptor alpha3beta2")
We now also find that alpha3beta2 receptor function in HEK cells requires NACHO, and these channels showed desensitization kinetics generally similar to alpha4beta2 (Figures 1A and 1B) PubMed:28445721
As previously published (Gu et al., 2016), robust surface alpha7 and alpha4beta2 expression required co-transfection with NACHO (Figures 1C and D), and we find that alpha3beta2 is also NACHO-dependent (Figures 1C and D) PubMed:28445721
Similarly, quantifiable [3H]epibatidine binding to alpha3beta2 required cotransfection with NACHO (Figure 2C) PubMed:28445721
For example, DHβE (at nM concentrations) blocks α4β2 and α3β2 nAChRs but is much less potent at α3β4 and α7 nAChRs expressed in Xenopus oocytes (e.g., [134–137]). PubMed:28391535
