a(HBP:"alpha-4-containing nAChR") association path(MESH:"Drug Tolerance")
In summary, while nicotine-induced upregulation requires at least the beta2 nAChR subunit, development of tolerance to nicotine requires neither the beta2 nor the alpha7 nAChR subunit; instead, it appears to be modulated by a beta4-containing nAChR and to require an alpha4-containing nAChR.
