Nicotinic receptors are formed by five different subunits: α, β, δ, and γ (fetal) or ε (adult) PubMed:26813123
In receptors harboring the gamma subunit, agonist-induced receptor activation results in a long-lasting open channel time. The large agonist-induced current in turn leads to local intermittent depolarization and adjustments to protein-protein interactions that favor receptor clustering. As the depolarization increases, transcription of the epsilon subunit is increased dramatically (183). PubMed:19126755
