Acetylcholine receptors (AChRs), like many other ligand-activated neurotransmitter receptors, consist of two major subtypes: the metabotropic muscarinic receptors and the ionotropic nicotinic receptors. Both share the property of being activated by the endogenous neurotransmitter acetylcholine (ACh), and they are expressed by both neuronal and nonneuronal cells throughout the body (8, 113, 142, 184).
