Disclosure of cholesterol recognition motifs in transmembrane domains of the human nicotinic acetylcholine receptor
Cholesterol influences ion-channel function, distribution and clustering in the membrane, endocytosis, and exocytic sorting of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (AChR). We report the occurrence of a cholesterol recognition motif, here coined “CARC”, in the transmembrane regions of AChR subunits t...
