Role of acetylcholine receptors in proliferation and differentiation of P19 embryonal carcinoma cells
(ELSEVIER INC, 2008)
Coordinated proliferation and differentiation of progenitor cells is the base for production of appropriate numbers of neurons and glia during neuronal development in order to establish normal brain functions. We have used ...
Muscarinic Acetylcholine Receptor Subtypes in the Male Reproductive Tract
(Humana Press Inc, 2010-01-01)
In mammals, at least five different muscarinic acetylcholine receptor subtypes (mAChRs; M(1)-M(5)) are known to be widely expressed and distributed in different tissues from different species. They mediate distinct ...
α-Conotoxins
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2000-08)
α-Conotoxins (α-CgTxs) are a family of Cys-enriched peptides found in several marine snails from the genus Conus. These small peptides behave pharmacologically as competitive antagonists of the nicotinic acetylcholine ...
Avaliação da expressão gênica e proteica dos receptores nicotínicos em modelo in vitro de infecção por SARS-CoV-2 com e sem superexpressão de ECA2
(Universidade Federal de São Paulo, 2023-02-27)
Introdução: O SARS-CoV-2 (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2) é o vírus causador da COVID-19 (Coronavírus disease 2019), doença decretada pandêmica em 2020. A entrada do vírus na célula hospedeira ocorre após ...
Resistance to inhibitors of cholinesterase 3 (Ric-3) expression promotes selective protein associations with the human α7-nicotinic acetylcholine receptor interactome
(Public Library of Science, 2015-08)
The α7-nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α7-nAChR) is a ligand-gated ion channel widely expressed in vertebrates and is associated with numerous physiological functions. As transmembrane ion channels, α7-nAChRs need to be ...

Activity of nAChRs containing α9 subunits modulates synapse stabilization via bidirectional signaling programs
(John Wiley & Sons Inc, 2009-12)
Although the synaptogenic program for cholinergic synapses of the neuromuscular junction is well known, little is known of the identity or dynamic expression patterns of proteins involved in non-neuromuscular nicotinic ...
A novel pharmacological activity of caffeine in the cholinergic system
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2018-06)
Cholinergic deficit is regarded as an important factor responsible for Alzheimer's disease (AD) symptoms. Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and nicotinic receptor (AChR) are two molecular targets for the treatment of this disease. ...
