Carbachol‐induced reverse transformation of Chinese hamster ovary cells transfected with and expressing the m5 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor [PDF]

FEBS Letters, 1989
Reverse transformation was induced in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells transfected with and stably expressing the m5 subtype of the muscarinic acetylcholine receptor when stimulated with the muscarinic agonist, carbachol. Atropine, a muscarinic antagonist, blocked the carbachol‐stimulated reverse transformation.

Identification of a Novel Allosteric Site at the M₅Muscarinic Acetylcholine Receptor

ACS Chemical Neuroscience, 2021
The M5 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAChR) has emerged as an exciting therapeutic target for the treatment of addiction and behavioral disorders. This has been in part due to promising preclinical studies with the M5 mAChR selective negative allosteric modulator (NAM), ML375. The binding site of ML375 remains unknown, however, making it difficult

All muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (M1-M5) are expressed in murine brain microvascular endothelium [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2017
AbstractClinical and experimental studies indicate that muscarinic acetylcholine receptors are potential pharmacological targets for the treatment of neurological diseases. Although these receptors have been described in human, bovine and rat cerebral microvascular tissue, a subtype functional characterization in mouse brain endothelium is lacking ...
