ABSTRACT:
Isolated nucleic acid molecules, i.e., DNA or RNA encoding human neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptor alpha and beta subunits, mammalian and amphibian cells containing said DNA, methods for producing α and β subunits and recombinant (i.e., isolated or substantially pure) α subunits and β subunits are provided. In addition, cells expressing various multimeric combinations of subunits (i.e., α1, α2α3α4α5α6and/or α7in combination with at least one of an α and β subunit are also provided. A recombinant, non-human cell line expressing the human α7subunit of nAChR is disclosed.
