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.

On homology modeling of the M2 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor subtype [PDF]

Journal of Computer-Aided Molecular Design, 2013
Twelve homology models of the human M(2) muscarinic receptor using different sets of templates have been designed using the Prime program or the modeller program and compared to crystallographic structure (PDB:3UON). The best models were obtained using single template of the closest published structure, the M(3) muscarinic receptor (PDB:4DAJ).

Eosinophil-mediated cholinergic nerve remodeling [PDF]

, 2006
Eosinophils are observed to localize to cholinergic nerves in a variety of inflammatory conditions such as asthma, rhinitis, eosinophilic gastroenteritis, and inflammatory bowel disease, where they are also responsible for the induction of cell ...

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 ...

Pronounced pharmacologic deficits in M2 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor knockout mice [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1999
Members of the muscarinic acetylcholine receptor family (M1–M5) are known to be involved in a great number of important central and peripheral physiological and pathophysiological processes. Because of the overlapping expression patterns of the M1–M5 muscarinic receptor subtypes and the lack of ligands endowed with sufficient subtype selectivity ...

Position of anticholinergic drugs in the treatment of childhood asthma [PDF]

Srpski Arhiv za Celokupno Lekarstvo, 2010
Anticholinergic drugs block muscarinic effect of acetylcholine on the receptors of postjunctional membranes and so inhibit the answer of the postganglionic parasympathetic nerve.

Neuromodulation of Persistent Activity and Working Memory Circuitry in Primate Prefrontal Cortex by Muscarinic Receptors

Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2021
Neuromodulation by acetylcholine plays a vital role in shaping the physiology and functions of cerebral cortex. Cholinergic neuromodulation influences brain-state transitions, controls the gating of cortical sensory stimulus responses, and has been shown

Structures of the M1 and M2 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor/G-protein complexes [PDF]

Science, 2019
Choosing a partner G protein–coupled receptors (GPCRs) bind ligands outside the cell and trigger events inside the cell by selectively binding and activating specific G proteins. The selectivity occurs even among highly related GPCRs.

TLR2 and TLR4 Modulate Mouse Ileal Motility by the Interaction with Muscarinic and Nicotinic Receptors

Cells, 2022
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a chronic functional bowel disorder characterized by intestinal dysmotility. Changes in intestinal microbiota (dysbiosis) can lead to alterations in neuro-muscular functions in the gut. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) 2 and 4

Muscarinic M2 acetylcholine receptor distribution in the guinea-pig gastrointestinal tract [PDF]

, 2006
In the enteric nervous system, acetylcholine is the most common neurotransmitter to induce gastrointestinal smooth muscle contractions. Cholinergic signaling is mediated by muscarinic acetylcholine receptors on the surface of smooth muscle cells.
