Deletion of the M ₅ muscarinic acetylcholine receptor attenuates morphine reinforcement and withdrawal but not morphine analgesia [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2002
Little is known about the physiological roles of the M 5 muscarinic receptor, the last member of the muscarinic receptor family (M 1 –M 5 ) to be cloned. In the brain, the M 5 receptor subtype is preferentially expressed by dopaminergic neurons ...

G protein‐coupled receptor‐mediated autophagy in health and disease

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 182, Issue 14, Page 3151-3162, July 2025.
G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) constitute the largest and most diverse superfamily of mammalian transmembrane proteins. These receptors are involved in a wide range of physiological functions and are targets for more than a third of available drugs in the market. Autophagy is a cellular process involved in degrading damaged proteins and organelles

ERNEST COST action overview on the (patho)physiology of GPCRs and orphan GPCRs in the nervous system

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 182, Issue 14, Page 3178-3210, July 2025.
G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) are a large family of cell surface receptors that play a critical role in nervous system function by transmitting signals between cells and their environment. They are involved in many, if not all, nervous system processes, and their dysfunction has been linked to various neurological disorders representing important

Association between the CHRM2 gene and intelligence in a sample of 304 Dutch families. [PDF]

, 2006
The CHRM2 gene is thought to be involved in neuronal excitability, synaptic plasticity and feedback regulation of acetylcholine release and has previously been implicated in higher cognitive processing.

Regulation of Src family kinases by muscarinic acetylcholine receptors in heterologous cells and neurons

Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience
Five muscarinic acetylcholine (mACh) receptor subtypes are divided into two classes: the M1 class (M1, M3, and M5) and the M2 class (M2 and M4). The former is coupled to Gq proteins, while the latter is coupled to Gi/o proteins.

Progress on the development of Class A GPCR‐biased ligands

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 182, Issue 14, Page 3249-3300, July 2025.
Class A G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) continue to garner interest for their essential roles in cell signalling and their importance as drug targets. Although numerous drugs in the clinic target these receptors, over 60% GPCRs remain unexploited. Moreover, the adverse effects triggered by the available unbiased GPCR modulators, limit their use and

Molecular mechanisms for fetal cardiac arrhythmia in intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy

, 2010
Intrahepatic cholestasis in pregnancy (ICP) is characterized by raised serum bile acids which can cause fetal complications, including preterm labour and intrauterine death. The fetal death in ICP is not well understood. In this thesis, the mechanisms of

Cholinergic Responses of Ophthalmic Arteries in M₃and M₅Muscarinic Acetylcholine Receptor Knockout Mice [PDF]

Investigative Opthalmology & Visual Science, 2009
To determine the functional role of M(3) and M(5) muscarinic acetylcholine receptor subtypes in ophthalmic arteries using gene-targeted mice.Muscarinic receptor gene expression was quantified in murine ophthalmic arteries using real-time PCR. To test the functional relevance of M(3) and M(5) receptors, ophthalmic arteries from mice deficient in either ...
