What are the receptor subtypes for ach?

Answer by  HarryK (46)

Acetylcholine (Ach) is a neurotransmitter that binds to two distinct kinds of receptors, muscarinic and nicotinic. Five different subtypes of muscarinic receptor have been identified (M1-M5). For the multi-protein nicotinic receptor, there are 17 proteins that can differentially combine to form a potentially large number of receptor subtypes.

there are to types of receptors for the Ach and depends of the types of ligands used for activated the receptor and the receptors are two: nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChR) and muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChR)
