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.

Voiding Behavior and Efferent Bladder Function Altered in Mice Following Social Defeat but Not Witness Trauma [PDF]
, 2020 Psychological stress is associated with bladder dysfunction, however, the local bladder mechanisms affected are not well understood. This study aimed to determine how psychological stress, caused by social defeat or witness trauma, affects voiding ...

RORγt antagonist suppresses M3 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor-induced Sjögren's syndrome-like sialadenitis [PDF]
Clinical and Experimental Immunology, 2016 Summary We showed recently that M3 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (M3R)-reactive CD3+ T cells play a pathogenic role in the development of murine autoimmune sialadenitis (MIS), which mimics Sjögren's syndrome (SS). The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness and mechanism of action of retinoic acid-related orphan receptor-

Carbachol increases intracellular free calcium concentrations in human granulosa-lutein cells [PDF]
, 1992 We investigated whether the stimulation of human granulosa-lutein cells with muscarinic and nicotinic receptor agonists can cause increases in intracellular free calcium (Ca2+), using Fura-2 microfluorimetry.

Effect of M3 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor deficiency on collagen antibody-induced arthritis [PDF]
Arthritis Research & Therapy, 2016 Background: There is increasing evidence that the non-neuronal cholinergic system might be of importance for the pathology of rheumatoid arthritis. The role of M3 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (M3R) in this regard has, however, not been investigated to date.

Calcium Mobilization by Activation of M3/M5 Muscarinic Receptors in the Human Retinoblastoma
Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2007 Activation of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChR) is one of the most important signal transduction pathways in the human body. In this study, we investigated the role of mAChR activation in relation to its subtypes in human retinoblastoma cell ...

M3 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor facilitates the endocytosis of mu opioid receptor mediated by morphine independently of the formation of heteromeric complexes [PDF]
, 2017 Morphine inefficiency to induce the internalization of mu opioid (MOP) receptors observed in numerous experimental models constitutes a paradigm of G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) functional selectivity.
