The alpha7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor as a pharmacological target for inflammation (2007, background): “, 1997; Drisdel and Green, 2000), although a7-subunits seem to form functional heteropentamers with b2-subunits if overexpressed in Xenopus leavis oocytes or human epithelial kidney cells tsA201 (Khiroug et al., 2002).”
Neuronal nicotinic receptors: from structure to pathology. (2004, background): “, 1999), and a rat a7 subunit co-assembles with the b2 subunit when expressed in heterologous systems (Khiroug et al., 2002).”
Mammalian Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors: From Structure to Function (2009, background): “For example, while the 7 nAChR is primarily a homomeric receptor in neurons (127), combinations of 7 nAChR subunits with 5, 2, or 3 nAChR subunits have been reported to form functional heteromeric receptors in some systems (240, 360, 515).”
