Description
The Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor alpha 7 Positive Control is a α- or alpha protein sometimes glycoprotein present in blood.Isotype or positive controls by peptides, antibodies and deactivated samples.Positive controls are the same as the target vector or antibody or protein and can be spiked to the sample before the analysis starts.The receptors are ligand binding factors of type 1, 2 or 3 and protein-molecules that receive chemical-signals from outside a cell. When such chemical-signals couple or bind to a receptor, they cause some form of cellular/tissue-response, e.g. a change in the electrical-activity of a cell. In this sense, am olfactory receptor is a protein-molecule that recognizes and responds to endogenous-chemical signals, chemokinesor cytokines e.g. an acetylcholine-receptor recognizes and responds to its endogenous-ligand, acetylcholine. However, sometimes in pharmacology, the term is also used to include other proteins that are drug-targets, such as enzymes, transporters and ion-channels.
