Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Muscle nicotinic receptors are located on muscle cells at the neuromuscular junction, where they bind with Acetylcholine to cause muscle contraction. They are ionotropic receptors consisting of five protein subunits. These subunits include two α subunits, one β subunit, one γ subunit, and one δ subunit. D-tubocurarine is a competitive antagonist that blocks these receptors and prevents acetylcholine from binding, leading to paralysis.
