Acetylcholine receptors are transmembrane proteins that bind to acetylcholine and are found in the nervous system. There are two types: nicotinic and muscarinic. Nicotinic receptors are ion channels that respond to nicotine and allow cations to flow through the pore, causing depolarization. Muscarinic receptors are G protein-coupled receptors involved in the parasympathetic nervous system and […]
