Basic and Clinical Aspects of Non-neuronal Acetylcholine: Biological and Clinical Significance of Non-canonical Ligands of Epithelial Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors
Mucocutaneous keratinocytes and bronchial epithelial cells express nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs). Emerging evidence indicates that nAChRs can be stimulated also by the tobacco-derived nitrosamines 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3–pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNK) and N ’-nitrosonornicotine (NNN) that...
