The ganglion type nicotinic receptor is a type of nicotinic acetylcholine receptor, consisting of the subunit combination (α1)2(β4)3[1].
It is located in the autonomic ganglia, where activation yields EPSP, mainly by increased Na+ and K+ permeability.
Agonists[]
Nicotinic agonists for this receptor include:
- acetylcholine
- carbachol
- nicotine
- epibatidine
- dimethylphenylpiperazinium
Antagonists[]
- α-bungarotoxin [2]
- mecamylamine
- trimetaphan
