(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Molecular biology has shown that the nicotinic and muscarinic receptors belong to distinct protein superfamilies. The nAChr is an ion channel, and like other members of the ligand-gated ion channel superfamily, is composed of five protein subunits arranged like staves around a barrel. The subunit composition is highly variable across different tissues. In contrast, the mAChR is not itself an ion channel, but belongs to the superfamily of G-protein coupled receptors. It activates ionic currents by initiating a second messenger cascade.
Muscarinic acetylcholine receptors can be blocked by the drugs atropine and scopolamine.
