ABSTRACT:
The present invention discloses a new neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptor subunit, .beta.4. The new subunit can form functional combinations with other neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptor subunits, including, but not limited to, alpha2, alpha3, alpha4 and beta2. A cDNA clone containing the DNA sequences that encode the novel receptor subunit of the invention has been deposited with the American Type Culture Collection for patent purposes.
