Abstract
The muscarinic ACh receptors, which hyperpolarize the resting membrane and also depress the action potential of bullfrog atrial muscle, show desensitization to the action of ACh. This suggests that the molecular mechanism of these muscarinic ACh receptor-ionic channel (voltage-dependent) complexes is comparable to that of the nicotinic ACh receptor-ionic channel (voltage-independent) complex of the end-plate.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
