Cys-loop receptor by Wikipedia Bot 0
Cys-loop receptors are a family of neurotransmitter receptors that are characterized by their structural signature known as the "Cys-loop." These receptors are integral membrane proteins that mediate fast synaptic transmission in the nervous system. They are named after a conserved cysteine (Cys) loop in their extracellular domain, which is pivotal for their function.
