Pertussis Toxin-sensitive Activation of Phospholipase C by the C5a and fMet-Leu-Phe Receptors [PDF]
, 1996 Signal transduction pathways that mediate C5a and fMet-Leu-Phe (fMLP)-induced pertussis toxin (PTx)-sensitive activation of phospholipase C (PLC) have been investigated using a cotransfection assay system in COS-7 cells.

Cholinergic Regulation of Orexin/Hypocretin Neurons Through M3Muscarinic Receptor in Mice
Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2008 The cholinergic system plays an important role in regulation of arousal and REM sleep. In the present study, we showed that a muscarinic receptor agonist, carbachol (CCh), activates almost 20% of orexin-producing neurons (orexin neurons), which play a ...

Voltage Dependence of Muscarinic M1-,M3- and M5 Receptors [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, 2014 Muscarinic receptors (MR) are G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). Localized to the plasma membrane, they sense changes of the membrane potential and exhibit voltage-dependent signaling. Because voltage activates Gq-coupled receptors (e.g. M1R) but deactivates Gi-coupled receptors (e.g.

A molecular basis for selective antagonist destabilization of dopamine D3 receptor quaternary organization [PDF]
, 2017 The dopamine D3 receptor (D3R) is a molecular target for both first-generation and several recently-developed antipsychotic agents. Following stable expression of this mEGFP-tagged receptor, Spatial Intensity Distribution Analysis indicated that a ...

The Role of Orthosteric Building Blocks of Bitopic Ligands for Muscarinic M1 Receptors [PDF]
ACS Omega, 2020 The muscarinic M-1 acetylcholine receptor is an important drug target for the treatment of various neurological disorders. Designing M-1 receptor-selective drugs has proven challenging, mainly due to the high conservation of the acetylcholine binding site among muscarinic receptor subtypes.

Elevated Hippocampal Cholinergic Neurostimulating Peptide precursor protein (HCNP-pp) mRNA in the amygdala in major depression [PDF]
, 2015 The amygdala is innervated by the cholinergic system and is involved in major depressive disorder (MDD). Evidence suggests a hyper-activate cholinergic system in MDD.

Relationship between membrane phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate and receptor-mediated inhibition of native neuronal M channels [PDF]
, 2005 The relationship between receptor-induced membrane phosphatidylinositol-4'5'-bisphosphate (PIP2) hydrolysis and M-current inhibition was assessed in single-dissociated rat sympathetic neurons by simultaneous or parallel recording of membrane current and ...
