The Role of Muscarinic Acetylcholine Receptor M3 in Cardiovascular Diseases. [PDF]
The muscarinic acetylcholine receptor M3 (M3-mAChR) is involved in various physiological and pathological processes. Owing to specific cardioprotective effects, M3-mAChR is an ideal diagnostic and therapeutic biomarker for cardiovascular diseases (CVDs).

The M3 Muscarinic Acetylcholine Receptor Promotes Epidermal Differentiation
The M3 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor is predominantly expressed in the basal epidermal layer where it mediates the effects of the autocrine/paracrine cytotransmitter acetylcholine. Patients with the autoimmune blistering disease pemphigus develop autoantibodies to M3 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor and show alterations in keratinocyte adhesion ...

Expression of M3 muscarinic acetylcholine receptors in gastric cancer
Gastric cancer represents a real public health problem as far as incidence, aggressiveness and unfavorable prognosis are concerned. The autonomous nervous system might be one of the major factors involved in the onset, progression, and metastasis, both sympathetically and parasympathetically.

Inhibition of m3 muscarinic acetylcholine receptors by local anaesthetics [PDF]
Muscarinic m1 receptors are inhibited by local anaesthetics (LA) at nM concentrations. To elucidate in more detail the site(s) of LA interaction, we compared these findings with LA effects on m3 muscarinic receptors. We expressed receptors in Xenopus oocytes.

Beneficial metabolic effects of M3 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor deficiency [PDF]
Most animal models of obesity and hyperinsulinemia are associated with increased vagal cholinergic activity. The M3 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor subtype is widely expressed in the brain and peripheral tissues and plays a key role in mediating the physiological effects of vagal activation.

Novel Insights into M3 Muscarinic Acetylcholine Receptor Physiology and Structure [PDF]
Recent studies with M3 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (M3R) mutant mice suggest that drugs selectively targeting this receptor subtype may prove useful for the treatment of various pathophysiological conditions. Moreover, the use of M3R-based designer G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) has provided novel insights into how Gq-coupled GPCRs can ...

Structure-guided development of selective M3 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor antagonists [PDF]
Significance The development of selective antagonists for muscarinic acetylcholine receptors is challenging due to high homology in orthosteric binding sites among subtypes. Starting from a single amino acid difference in the orthosteric pockets in M2 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (M2R) and M3R, we developed an M3R-selective antagonist ...

M3 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor–reactive Th17 cells in primary Sjögren’s syndrome [PDF]
M3 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (M3R) is one of the autoantigens associated with Sjögren's syndrome (SS) and is localized in exocrine glands where disease-specific inflammation occurs. The inflammatory lesion is characterized by infiltration of CD4+ T cells, including clonally expanded Th17 cells.

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