'''Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor''' (nAChRs) is a neurotransmitter receptor also known as a specialized integral membrane protein. Integral membrane proteins are permanently bound to the phospholipid bilayer. They provide a communication pathway between the internal and external environments of the cell. Acetylcholine receptor proteins reside as ligand-gated ion channels on the motor end plate of the postsynaptic cleft in the neuromuscular junction. | '''Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor''' (nAChRs) is a neurotransmitter receptor also known as a specialized integral membrane protein.
