Preferred Label : receptors, cholinergic;
MeSH definition : Cell surface proteins that bind acetylcholine with high affinity and trigger intracellular
changes influencing the behavior of cells. Cholinergic receptors are divided into
two major classes, muscarinic and nicotinic, based originally on their affinity for
nicotine and muscarine. Each group is further subdivided based on pharmacology, location,
mode of action, and/or molecular biology.;
