Cloning and expression of the human and rat m5 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor genes
Neuron, 1988The human and rat genes for a fifth muscarinic receptor have been cloned and expressed in mammalian cells. The 532 amino acid human protein has 89% sequence identity to the 531 amino acid rat protein and is most closely related to the m3 receptor. Both proteins are encoded by single exons.

Role for M5 muscarinic acetylcholine receptors in cocaine addiction
Journal of Neuroscience Research, 2003AbstractMuscarinic cholinergic receptors of the M5 subtype are expressed by dopamine‐containing neurons of the ventral tegmentum. These M5 receptors modulate the activity of midbrain dopaminergic neurons, which play an important role in mediating reinforcing properties of abused psychostimulants like cocaine.

Based on the ability of many receptors to amplify NIH 3T3 cells, we developed a high throughput assay of cloned receptor pharmacology. In this assay, receptors are transiently co-expressed with the marker enzyme beta-galactosidase. Receptors that induce cellular proliferation select and amplify the cells that also express the marker, thus the ability ...

The Muscarinic Acetylcholine Receptor M 5 : Therapeutic Implications and Allosteric Modulation
ACS Chemical Neuroscience, 2018The muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAChR) subtype 5 (M5) was the most recent mAChR to be cloned and has since emerged as a potential therapeutic target for a number of indications. Early studies with knockout animals have provided clues to the receptor's role in physiological processes related to Alzheimer's disease, schizophrenia, and addiction ...

Efficient coupling of m5 muscarinic acetylcholine receptors to activation of nitric oxide synthase.
The Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics, 1994The coupling of m5 muscarinic acetylcholine receptors to the generation and release of nitric oxide (NO) was investigated. Chinese hamster ovary cells, which stably express m5 receptors, were transiently transfected with the gene encoding neuronal NO synthase and used as a model system. Increased generation of NO upon stimulation of cells by muscarinic

Until recently, little was known about the possible physiological functions of the M(5) muscarinic acetylcholine receptor subtype, the last member of the muscarinic receptor family (M(1)-M(5)) to be cloned. To learn more about the potential physiological roles of this receptor subtype, we generated and analyzed M(5) receptor-deficient mice (M5 -/- mice)

Schizophrenic patients show decreased measures of sensorimotor gating, such as prepulse inhibition of startle (PPI). In preclinical models, these measures may be used to predict antipsychotic activity. While current antipsychotic drugs act largely at dopamine receptors, the muscarinic acetylcholine receptors offer promising novel pharmacotherapy ...

Knowledge of the distributions and functions of native m1-m5 muscarinic acetylcholine receptors in tissues is limited. To characterize the family of m1-m5 proteins directly, a panel of subtype-selective antibodies was generated against divergent i3 loop-fusion proteins. Each antibody was shown to bind a single cloned receptor specifically.

Isolation and Functional Characterization of the Chick M5 Muscarinic Acetylcholine Receptor Gene
Journal of Neurochemistry, 2000Abstract: The chick is a widely used system for study of the actions of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors in the cardiovascular, visual, and nervous systems. We report the isolation and functional analysis of the gene encoding the chick M5 muscarinic receptor.
