The dual-site agonist for human M2 muscarinic receptors Iper-8-naphtalimide induces mitochondrial dysfunction in Saccharomyces cerevisiae [PDF]
Microbial CellGlioblastoma is a malignant astrocytic tumor of the brain. A significantly decrease of glioblastoma cell proliferation and survival can be achieved by activating the M2 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (a G protein-coupled receptor, or GPCR) with two ...

Synergistic mechanisms of medullary cholinergic-serotonergic pathway interactions in regulating neuronal excitability and locomotor activities [PDF]
Communications BiologyMedullary serotonergic (5-HT) neurons play a pivotal role in locomotor initiation. While these neurons receive cholinergic innervation, the functional consequences and underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. Using ePet-EYFP transgenic mice (P3–P6)

Muscarinic receptor regulation of chronic pain-induced atrial fibrillation
Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022 Atrial fibrillation (AF), one of the most common arrhythmias, is associated with chronic emotional disorder. Chronic pain represents a psychological instability condition related to cardiovascular diseases, but the mechanistic linkage connecting chronic ...

Trafficking of M2 Muscarinic Acetylcholine Receptors [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1999 Internalization is an important mechanism regulating the agonist-dependent responses of G-protein-coupled receptors. The internalization of the M(2) muscarinic cholinergic receptors (mAChR) in HEK293 cells has been demonstrated to occur by an unknown mechanism that is independent of arrestins and dynamin.

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

Non-Neuronal Functions of the M2 Muscarinic Acetylcholine Receptor [PDF]
Genes, 2013 Acetylcholine is an important neurotransmitter whose effects are mediated by two classes of receptors. The nicotinic acetylcholine receptors are ion channels, whereas the muscarinic receptors belong to the large family of G protein coupled seven transmembrane helix receptors.

Dualsteric modulators of the M2 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor [PDF]
Journal of Cheminformatics, 2014 G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) trigger multiple signal-switching mechanisms like binding of s-arrestin proteins, activation of kinases and G-protein activation [1]. The poor understanding of the conformational changes resulting in these activations is a major challenge for the design of specific GPCR modulating drugs.
