RegIIA inhibition of α3-containing nAChR subtypes and subtype mutants
IC50 values (nm) with 95% CI. Hill slope (nH) was obtained from concentration–response curves for RegIIA at wild-type and mutant human α3β2 and α3β4 nAChR subtypes. Human α3β2 nAChR mutations hα3β2[T59K] and hα3β2[S113R] notably decrease the IC50 of RegIIA towards the human α3β4 subtype value, whereas the opposite human α3β4[K59T] and α3β4[R113S] result in lower potency of RegIIA and significantly increased IC50 values. Data from wild-type nAChRs and the mutants mentioned are highlighted in bold font. All data represent mean of n = 3–9 experiments.
