Thiamine has been found to be active in an acetylcholine receptor-rich postsynaptic membrane preparation from Torpedo californica electroplax by inhibiting the rate of carbamylcholine-induced acetylcholine receptor-mediated 22Na efflux. Thiamine reduces the maximal response to carbamylcholine without changing the affinity of the receptor for carbamylcholine.
