Figure 3From: The Drosophila nicotinic acetylcholine receptor subunits Dα5 and Dα7 form functional homomeric and heteromeric ion channelsFunctional expression of Drosophila nAChR subunit combinations in Xenopus oocytes. A) Dose–response curves for acetylcholine are shown for homomeric Dα5 nAChRs (open circles) homomeric Dα7 nAChRs (open squares) and for triplet Dα5 + Dα6 + Dα7 nAChRs (closed circles). B) Dose–response curves for acetylcholine are shown for heteromeric Dα5 + Dα6 nAChRs (open circles) and Dα5 + Dα7 nAChRs (closed circles) In all cases, nAChR subunits were co-expressed with CeRIC-3. Data are means ± SEM of 3–8 independent experiments.Back to article page
