a(MESH:Bungarotoxins) decreases complex(a(CHEBI:"amyloid-beta"), a(MESH:"alpha7 Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor")) View Subject | View Object

Subsequently, competition studies performed by incubating alpha7 nAChRs with Abeta and alpha-Bungarotoxin showed that the application of alpha-Bungarotoxin is able to decrease the amount of Abeta bound to alpha7 nAChRs, suggesting that both molecules compete for the same ligand binding domain (Wang et al., 2000b) PubMed:25514383

complex(a(CHEBI:"amyloid-beta"), a(MESH:"alpha7 Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor")) decreases bp(HP:Neurodegeneration) View Subject | View Object

The mechanism proposed is that the Aß-alpha7 nAChR interaction could activate neuroprotective downstream pathways (Parri et al., 2011), and that at the same time the interaction engages Abeta preventing its aggregation PubMed:25514383
