nAChR
Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors
nAChRs (nicotinic acetylcholine receptors) are neuron receptor proteins that signal for muscular contraction upon a chemical stimulus. They are cholinergic receptors that form ligand-gated ion channels in the plasma membranes of certain neurons and on the presynaptic and postsynaptic sides of theneuromuscular junction. Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors are the best-studied of the ionotropic receptors. Like the other type of acetylcholine receptor-the muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAChR)-the nAChR is triggered by the binding of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine (ACh). Just as muscarinic receptors are named such because they are also activated by muscarine, nicotinic receptors can be opened not only by acetylcholine but also by nicotine —hence the name "nicotinic".

DSPE-PEG2000-RVG29
0 ImagesCat. No.: HY-172705DSPE-PEG2000-RVG29 is a PEG conjugate composed of DSPE and rabies virus glycoprotein 29 (RVG29). RVG29 specifically binds to nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChR) at the blood-brain barrier (BBB), crosses the BBB, and mediates receptor-dependent transcytosis. DSPE-PEG2000-RVG29 can be used for brain-targeted drug delivery, surface modification of nanocarriers, as well as gene and nucleic acid delivery. DSPE-PEG2000-RVG29 is applicable to research related to hypoxic-ischemic brain injury, Parkinson's disease, and other conditions.
