Pentameric ligand-gated ion channel

Pentameric ligand gated ion channels(), or Cys-loop receptors,mediate rapid chemical transmission of signals. Nicotinic acetylcholine receptor is a kind of pentameric ligand gated ion channels. So at first of this page, we introduce some facts of the pentameric ligand gated ion channels, which will help us to understand the structure and function of AChR.

Acetylcholine receptor

Acetylcholine binding protein

The binding site of AChR

This is a sample scene created with SAT to by Group, and another to make of the protein. You can make your own scenes on SAT starting from scratch or loading and editing one of these sample scenes.
