act(p(HGNCGENEFAMILY:"Cholinergic receptors nicotinic subunits")) regulates bp(GO:"synaptic transmission, dopaminergic")

PubMed:19126755

In the basal ganglia, for instance, dopaminergic transmission is ultimately regulated by the activity of specific nAChR subtypes in different neurons and neuronal compartments (Fig. 5). Thus evidence exists that in the VTA,alpha6- andalpha4-containing nAChRs are mainly located on dopaminergic nerve terminals, whereas alpha7 nAChRs are primarily expressed on the soma of dopaminergic neurons (Fig. 5).
