TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Agents Acting at the Neuromuscular Junction and Autonomic Ganglia A1 - Hilal-Dandan, Randa A1 - Brunton, Laurence L. Y1 - 2016 N1 - T2 - Goodman and Gilman's Manual of Pharmacology and Therapeutics, 2e AB - The nicotinic acetylcholine (ACh) receptor mediates neurotransmission postsynaptically at the neuromuscular junction and peripheral autonomic ganglia; in the CNS, it largely controls release of neurotransmitters from presynaptic sites. The receptor is called the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor because both the alkaloid nicotine and the neurotransmitter ACh can stimulate the receptor. Distinct subtypes of nicotinic receptors exist at the neuromuscular junction and the ganglia.
