There are several types of ligand gated ion channels, including:
Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs): Found at neuromuscular junctions and in the central nervous system. GABAA receptors: Found in the central nervous system and involved in inhibitory neurotransmission. Glutamate receptors (AMPA, NMDA, and Kainate receptors): Predominantly found in the central nervous system, playing a key role in excitatory neurotransmission. Serotonin receptors (5-HT3 receptors): Found in the central and peripheral nervous systems and involved in diverse physiological functions.
