## Abstract Acetylcholine receptor (AChR) stability in the postsynaptic membrane is affected by serine kinases. AChR are phosphorylated by protein kinase C (PKC) and PKA, and we have shown that activation of PKA and PKC have opposite effects on AChR stability and that this may play some role in the

## Abstract Pathological angiogenesis contributes to tobacco‐related diseases such as malignancy, atherosclerosis and age‐related macular degeneration. Nicotine acts on endothelial nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) to activate endothelial cells and to augment pathological angiogenesis. In
## Abstract Neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) agonists have been demonstrated to exhibit antinociceptive, antihyperalgesic, and antiallodynic effects across a range of preclinical models of pain. Yet, to date, no drugs have been successfully developed and approved for the treatment
Nicotinic acetylcholine receptor-channels (AChR) are believed to be the target site of cartap. In order to clarify the mechanisms of the cartap interaction with nicotinic AChRs, singlechannel patch clamp experiments were performed using rat clonal phaeochromocytoma (PC12) cells. Cartap increased the
Standard two-electrode voltage-clamp techniques were used to investigate some of the pharmacological and functional properties of two types of rat neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors expressed in Xenopus oocytes after pairwise injection of e3/74 or c~3/72 mRNAs. Currents of several gA amplitu
