Flavonoids with M1 Muscarinic Acetylcholine Receptor Binding Activity
Molecules, 2014 Muscarinic acetylcholine receptor-active compounds have potential for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. In this study, a series of natural and synthetic flavones and flavonols was assayed in vitro for their ability to inhibit radioligand binding at ...

Spontaneous Lipid Binding to the Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor in a Native Membrane [PDF]
, 2021 The nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) and other pentameric ligand-gated ion channels (pLGICs) are native to neuronal membranes with an unusual lipid composition. While it is well-established that these receptors can be significantly modulated by lipids, the underlying mechanisms have been primarily studied in model membranes with only a few ...

Scientific Reports, 2019 Muscarinic acetylcholine receptors have been implicated as potential neuroprotective targets for glaucoma. We tested the hypothesis that the lack of a single muscarinic receptor subtype leads to age-dependent neuron reduction in the retinal ganglion cell

Cholinergic receptor alterations in the cerebral cortex of spinal cord injured rat
Biochemistry and Biophysics Reports, 2017 Many areas of the cerebral cortex process sensory information or coordinate motor output necessary for control of movement. Disturbances in cortical cholinergic system can affect locomotor coordination.

Kainate receptor modulation by NETO2 [PDF]
Nature, 599(7884), 325-329 (2021), 2023 Glutamate-gated kainate receptors (KARs) are ubiquitous in the central nervous system of vertebrates, mediate synaptic transmission on post-synapse, and modulate transmitter release on pre-synapse. In the brain, the trafficking, gating kinetics, and pharmacology of KARs are tightly regulated by Neuropilin and tolloid-like proteins (Netos).
