Isolation of a cDNA clone coding for a possible neural nicotinic acetylcholine receptor alpha-subunit
Abstract
We have isolated a complementary DNA clone containing sequences homologous to those encoding the alpha-subunit of a mouse muscle nicotinic acetylcholine receptor. Based on the structural similarities between the encoded protein and the muscle acetylcholine receptor alpha-subunit, and the presence of hybridizing RNA species in the brain, we propose that this clone codes for a neural nicotinic acetylcholine receptor alpha-subunit.
