3D structure of nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) from Torpedo marmorata was obtained by electron microscopy (PDB ID: 1OED)(Nature, 423, 949-955, 2003).

nAChR controles electrical signalling between nerve and muscle cells by opening and closing a gated, membrane-spanning pore.

This model is neuronal type human nAChR constructed by FAMS Ligand&Complex based on 1OED.
