Abstract
A cDNA clone was isolated from a rat superior cervical ganglion cDNA library with an oligonucleotide that hybridized to muscle-like nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) subunit cDNA. The deduced amino acid sequence possesses characteristics expected of a nAChR subunit that does not bind acetylcholine, in addition to distinctive features such as unique cysteine residues and N-linked glycosylation sites.Keywords
