1 Nicotine facilitates nicotinic acetylcholine receptor targeting to mitochondria but makes them less susceptible to selective ligands. Nicotine cholinergic receptor, nicotinic, alpha polypeptide 7 Mus musculus
2 Nicotine has been shown to favor nAChR pentamer assembly, folding, and maturation on the way of biosynthesis. Nicotine cholinergic receptor, nicotinic, alpha polypeptide 7 Mus musculus
3 It was found that nicotine consumption increased the ratio of mitochondrial vs non-mitochondrial nAChRs in the liver, enhanced fucosylation of mitochondrial nAChRs, but prevented the binding of alpha-cobratoxin and the cytochrome c release-attenuating effects of nAChR-specific agonists, antagonists, or positive allosteric modulators. Nicotine cholinergic receptor, nicotinic, alpha polypeptide 7 Mus musculus
4 It is concluded that nicotine consumption in vivo favors nAChR glycosylation and trafficking to mitochondria but makes them less susceptible to the effects of specific ligands. Nicotine cholinergic receptor, nicotinic, alpha polypeptide 7 Mus musculus
