Abstract

The acetylcholine receptor (AChR) from Torpedo electroplax can be isolated in a pure form either in its native membrane-bound state or by affinity chromatography after solubilization. Due to the ease with which this receptor can be purified, both its structure and its function have been investigated to a remarkable degree of sophistication.
