1 In particular, nAChRs containing beta2-subunits (beta2*-nAChRs) the most prevalent subtype, mediate the reinforcing properties of nicotine. Nicotine potassium calcium-activated channel subfamily M regulatory beta subunit 2 Homo sapiens
2 In particular, nAChRs containing beta2-subunits (beta2*-nAChRs) the most prevalent subtype, mediate the reinforcing properties of nicotine. Nicotine potassium calcium-activated channel subfamily M regulatory beta subunit 2 Homo sapiens
3 Higher brain beta2*-nAChR during early abstinence indicates that, when smokers quit smoking, they do so in the face of a significant increase in the receptors normally activated by nicotine. Nicotine potassium calcium-activated channel subfamily M regulatory beta subunit 2 Homo sapiens
