All the mammalian neuronal nAChR subtypes do share the general func- tional property of being permeable to small monovalent and divalent cations. The main conducting species under biological conditions are Na+, K+, and Ca2+. PubMed:26472524

The binding of ACh or nicotine activates neuronal nAChRs thus leading to the influx of Na+ and Ca2+ and ef- flux of K+. PubMed:28901280
Indeed, the binding of cytochrome c that has been released from mitochondria to apoptotic protease-activating factor 1 (APAF1) and the subsequent assembly of the apoptosome only occurs when subphysiological K+ concentrations are reached in compromised cells77,78. PubMed:23702978
Similarly, activation of the NLRP1B and NLRP3 inflammasomes depends on low K+ concentrations in intracellular compartments79, and a low K+ concentration promotes the assembly of the ASC speck6. PubMed:23702978

In addition, high extracellular levels of K+ can block IL-1β release after NLRC4 and AIM2 inflammasome formation80,81, which indicates that low intracellular K+ levels might also be required for the activation of these inflammasomes. PubMed:23702978
Activators include bacteria, virus, fungus, protoza, microbial proteins, crystalline urea, RNA, Alum, ATP, potassium efflux, fatty acids, Aβ, and most recently, degraded mitochondrial DNA (Liu et al., 2013a; Mathew et al., 2012; Schmidt and Lenz, 2012) PubMed:24561250
