Scope note

  • One of the two major classes of cholinergic receptors. Nicotinic receptors were originally distinguished by their preference for NICOTINE over MUSCARINE. They are generally divided into muscle-type and neuronal-type (previously ganglionic) based on pharmacology, and subunit composition of the receptors.

History note

  • 84(77); was see under RECEPTORS, CHOLINERGIC 1977-83
