Muscarinic acetylcholine receptors are prototypical G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), members of a large family of 7 transmembrane receptors mediating a wide variety of extracellular signals. We show here, in cultured cells and in a murine model, that

Trafficking of M2 Muscarinic Acetylcholine Receptors [PDF]
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.

Tracking Voltage-Sensitive Movements of the M2 Muscarinic Acetylcholine Receptor [PDF]
Numerous G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) have been shown to change their activity levels in response to changes in membrane potential. More recently, it has been directly demonstrated that these changes in activity reflect underlying changes in conformational state.

Mechanisms of Pilocarpine-Induced Nitric Oxide and Prostaglandin Production in Porcine Ciliary Muscle. [PDF]
Pilocarpine activates M1 and M3 muscarinic receptors in porcine ciliary muscle, engaging calcium‐dependent phospholipase C (PLC), nitric oxide synthase (NOS), and cyclooxygenase (COX) pathways that increase prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) synthesis. Beyond nitric oxide (NO) modulation, PGE2 emerges as a key mediator linking muscarinic signaling to ciliary ...

Muscarinic receptor regulation of chronic pain-induced atrial fibrillation
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 ...

Involvement of muscarinic receptors in psychomotor hyperactivity in dopamine-deficient mice
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
