Interaction of the Xanthine Nucleotide Binding Goα Mutant with G Protein-coupled Receptors [PDF]
, 1998 We constructed a double mutant version of the α subunit of Go that was regulated by xanthine nucleotides instead of guanine nucleotides (GoαX). We investigated the interaction between GoαX and G protein-coupled receptors in vitro.

Multiple Residues in the Second Extracellular Loop Are Critical for M3 Muscarinic Acetylcholine Receptor Activation [PDF]
, 2007 Recent studies suggest that the second extracellular loop (o2 loop) of bovine rhodopsin and other class I G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) targeted by biogenic amine ligands folds deeply into the transmembrane receptor core where the binding of cis ...

Identification and Role of Muscarinic Receptor Subtypes Expressed in Rat Adrenal Medullary Cells
Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2011 .: The muscarinic receptor is known to be involved in the acetylcholine (ACh)-induced secretion of catecholamines in the adrenal medullary (AM) cells of various mammals.

Effects of muscarinic and nicotinic receptors on contextual modulation in macaque area V1
Scientific Reports, 2021 Context affects the salience and visibility of image elements in visual scenes. Collinear flankers can enhance or decrease the perceptual and neuronal sensitivity to flanked stimuli. These effects are mediated through lateral interactions between neurons

A molecular basis for selective antagonist destabilization of dopamine D3 receptor quaternary organization [PDF]
, 2017 The dopamine D3 receptor (D3R) is a molecular target for both first-generation and several recently-developed antipsychotic agents. Following stable expression of this mEGFP-tagged receptor, Spatial Intensity Distribution Analysis indicated that a ...

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.

Functional effects of KCNQ K+ channels in airway smooth muscle
Frontiers in Physiology, 2013 KCNQ (Kv7) channels underlie a voltage-gated K+ current best known for control of neuronal excitability, and its inhibition by Gq/11-coupled, muscarinic signaling. Studies have indicated expression of KCNQ channels in airway smooth muscle (ASM), a tissue

Striatal cholinergic interneurons generate beta and gamma oscillations in the corticostriatal circuit and produce motor deficits [PDF]
, 2016 Cortico-basal ganglia-thalamic (CBT) neural circuits are critical modulators of cognitive and motor function. When compromised, these circuits contribute to neurological and psychiatric disorders, such as Parkinson's disease (PD).
