Basic and modern concepts on cholinergic receptor: A review
Journal Title: Asian Pacific Journal of Tropical Disease - Year 2013, Vol 3, Issue 5
Abstract
Cholinergic system is an important system and a branch of the autonomic nervous system which plays an important role in memory, digestion, control of heart beat, blood pressure, movement and many other functions. This article serves as both structural and functional sources of information regarding cholinergic receptors and provides a detailed understanding of the determinants governing specificity of muscarinic and nicotinic receptor to researchers. The study helps to give overall information about the fundamentals of the cholinergic system, its receptors and ongoing research in this field.
