Наиболее детально изучен рецептор ацетилхолина, активируемый никотином. Это трансмембранный комплекс из пяти субъединиц (α2βδγ, 250-270 кДа), образующий лиганд-активируемый (хемовозбудимый) ионный канал, проницаемый для ионов Na+ и K+. Участки связывания ацетилхолина локализованы на внеклеточной части α-субъединиц. При связывании лиганда в центре молекулы формируется трансмембранный канал, входное отверстие которого имеет форму воронки диаметром около 2 нм. Предполагается, что в формировании канала принимают участие все пять субъединиц. Канал открывается на короткое время для прохождения ионов Na+ и K+. Считается, что открывание и закрывание канала происходит в результате аллостерических изменений в заряженных участках полипептидных цепей молекулы рецептора.

Рецептор может связывать различные лекарственные вещества: например, никотин действует как агонист ацетилхолина.

Histone H1 glycation and rutin metabolites as glycation inhibitors: Nuclear protein glycation in vivo and novel natural product AGE inhibitors / Protein glycation, induced by hyperglycemia, is implicated in the appearance of diabetic complications and the aging process. Glycation involves the non-enzymatic reaction between sugars and protein amino groups that lead to formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs).
