Ligand Binding at the α4-α4 Agonist-Binding Site of the α4β2 nAChR Triggers Receptor Activation through a Pre-Activated Conformational State

The α4β2 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) is the most abundant subtype in the brain and exists in two functional stoichiometries: (α4)(3)(β2)(2) and (α4)(2)(β2)(3). A distinct feature of the (α4)(3)(β2)(2) receptor is the biphasic activation response to the endogenous agonist acetylcholine,...
