muscarinic receptor

If the acetylcholine receptor was destroyed that the effector cells cannot respond or detect the neurotransmitter, resulting in muscle paralysis.

In MG, immune cells create antibodies against the acetylcholine receptor. Antibodies are proteins normally involved in fighting infection. When these antibodies attach to the receptor, they prevent it from receiving acetylcholine

Curare is a competitive inhibitor of acetylcholine. It fights with acetycholine for postsynaptic receptors.

ACH receptors can be defined as an integral membrane protein that responds to the binding of acetylcholine, a neuoyansmitter. Two example are nicotinic acetyl line receptors and muscarinic acetylcholine receptors. .
