Histamine H1 Receptor Down-Regulation Mediated by M3 Muscarinic Acetylcholine Receptor Subtype
Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2004 Heterologous down-regulation of histamine H1 receptor (H1R) mediated by muscarinic acetylcholine receptor subtype was investigated using five kinds of Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells stably co-expressing the human H1R and one of the five (M1 –M5 ...

Acetylcholine Attenuates Hydrogen Peroxide-Induced Intracellular Calcium Dyshomeostasis Through Both Muscarinic and Nicotinic Receptors in Cardiomyocytes [PDF]
Cellular Physiology and Biochemistry, 2016 Background/Aims: Oxidative stress induced intracellular Ca2+ overload plays an important role in the pathophysiology of several heart diseases. Acetylcholine (ACh) has been shown to suppress reactive oxygen species generation during oxidative stress ...

Allosteric Modulation of Muscarinic Acetylcholine Receptors [PDF]
Pharmaceuticals, 2010 An allosteric modulator is a ligand that binds to an allosteric site on the receptor and changes receptor conformation to produce increase (positive cooperativity) or decrease (negative cooperativity) in the binding or action of an orthosteric agonist (e.

Involvement of muscarinic receptors in psychomotor hyperactivity in dopamine-deficient mice
Molecular Brain, 2022 Dopamine-deficient (DD) mice exhibit psychomotor hyperactivity that might be related to a decrease in muscarinic signaling. In the present study, muscarinic acetylcholine receptor M2 (CHRM2) density decreased in the cortex in DD mice. This is significant

Muscarinic receptor signaling in the pathophysiology of asthma and COPD
Respiratory Research, 2006 Anticholinergics are widely used for the treatment of COPD, and to a lesser extent for asthma. Primarily used as bronchodilators, they reverse the action of vagally derived acetylcholine on airway smooth muscle contraction.
