Difference between Metabotropic receptor and Nicotinic acetylcholine receptor

Metabotropic receptor vs. Nicotinic acetylcholine receptor

A metabotropic receptor is a type of membrane receptor of eukaryotic cells that acts through a second messenger. Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, or nAChRs, are receptor proteins that respond to the neurotransmitter acetylcholine.

Similarities between Metabotropic receptor and Nicotinic acetylcholine receptor

Metabotropic receptor and Nicotinic acetylcholine receptor have 8 things in common (in Unionpedia): Ion channel, Ligand (biochemistry), Ligand-gated ion channel, Muscarinic acetylcholine receptor, N-terminus, Neuron, Neurotransmitter, Second messenger system.

Ion channel

Ion channels are pore-forming membrane proteins that allow ions to pass through the channel pore.

Ligand (biochemistry)

In biochemistry and pharmacology, a ligand is a substance that forms a complex with a biomolecule to serve a biological purpose.

Ligand-gated ion channel

Ligand-gated ion channels (LICs, LGIC), also commonly referred as ionotropic receptors, are a group of transmembrane ion-channel proteins which open to allow ions such as Na+, K+, Ca2+, and/or Cl− to pass through the membrane in response to the binding of a chemical messenger (i.e. a ligand), such as a neurotransmitter.

Muscarinic acetylcholine receptor

Muscarinic acetylcholine receptors, or mAChRs, are acetylcholine receptors that form G protein-coupled receptor complexes in the cell membranes of certain neurons and other cells.

N-terminus

The N-terminus (also known as the amino-terminus, NH2-terminus, N-terminal end or amine-terminus) is the start of a protein or polypeptide referring to the free amine group (-NH2) located at the end of a polypeptide.

Neuron

A neuron, also known as a neurone (British spelling) and nerve cell, is an electrically excitable cell that receives, processes, and transmits information through electrical and chemical signals.
