The muscle type nicotinic receptor is a type of nicotinic acetylcholine receptor, consisting of the subunit combination (α1)2β1δε.

It is located in the neuromuscular junction, where activation yields EPSP, mainly by increased Na+ and K+ permeability.

Agonists
Nicotinic agonists for this receptor include:
 * acetylcholine
 * carbachol
 * suxamethonium

Antagonists

 * α-bungarotoxin
 * α-conotoxin
 * tubocurarine
 * pancuronium
 * hexamethonium
