Distinct agonist regulation of muscarinic acetylcholine M2-M3 heteromers and their corresponding homomers [PDF]

, 2015
Each subtype of the muscarinic receptor family of G protein-coupled receptors is activated by similar concentrations of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine or closely related synthetic analogs such as carbachol. However, pharmacological selectivity can be

Identification, expression and functional characterization of M4L, a muscarinic acetylcholine M4 receptor splice variant. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
Rodent genomic alignment sequences support a 2-exon model for muscarinic M4 receptor. Using this model a novel N-terminal extension was discovered in the human muscarinic acetylcholine M4 receptor. An open reading frame was discovered in the human, mouse

Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome Is Associated With Elevated G‐Protein Coupled Receptor Autoantibodies

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2019
Background The etiology of postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is yet to be established. The disorder is often misdiagnosed as chronic anxiety or a panic disorder because the autonomic failure in these patients is not severe.
