Acetylcholine receptor locales are blocked. Acetylcholine receptors are found on the surface of muscle cells, moved in the neurotransmitter between nerve cells and muscle cells. It is ligand-gated particle channels, and, as different individuals from the "Cys-circle" ligand-gated particle channel superfamily, are made out of five protein subunits symmetrically organized like fights around a barrel.
