Alpha-4 beta-2 nicotinic receptor

The alpha-4 beta-2 nicotinic receptor, also known as the α4β2 receptor, is a type of nicotinic acetylcholine receptor, consisting of α4 and β2 subunits.[1] It is located in the brain, where activation yields post- and presynaptic excitation[1], mainly by increased Na+ and K+ permeability.

The receptors exist in the two stoichiometries:
