Allosteric interactions at the M3 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor [PDF]
The extracellular loops of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors are predicted to play a role in the binding and regulation of allosteric modulators. Furthermore, the sequence of the five subtypes of muscarinic receptors shows a large degree of diversity in this region.

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 ...

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.

General anesthesia produces multiple side effects. Notably, it temporarily impairs gastrointestinal motility following surgery and causes the so-called postoperative ileus (POI), a multifactorial and complex condition that develops secondary to ...

Changes in adrenergic and cholinergic receptors on human cerebral vessels. Implications for new therapeutic strategies in Alzheimer's Disease [PDF]
Abstract Background Sporadic cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) occurs as a result of a failure of Intramural Periarterial Drainage (IPAD) of amyloid‐beta (Aβ) along the walls of capillaries and arteries. The motive force for IPAD is provided by the spontaneous contractions of cerebrovascular smooth muscle cells (CVSMC that receive adrenergic and ...

Aged Mice Devoid of the M3 Muscarinic Acetylcholine Receptor Develop Mild Dry Eye Disease
The parasympathetic nervous system is critically involved in the regulation of tear secretion by activating muscarinic acetylcholine receptors. Hence, various animal models targeting parasympathetic signaling have been developed to induce dry eye disease

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.

M3 subtype of muscarinic acetylcholine receptor promotes cardioprotection via the suppression of miR-376b-5p. [PDF]
The M(3) subtype of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (M(3)-mAChR) plays a protective role in myocardial ischemia and microRNAs (miRNAs) participate in many cardiac pathophysiological processes, including ischemia-induced cardiac injury.
