Distribution of Muscarinic Acethylcholine Receptors and Related Signal [PDF]
Türk Biyokimya Dergisi, 2006 Muscarinic receptors are members of G protein coupled receptor family. Molecularcloning studies indicate five intronless genes that encode five muscarinic receptorglycoproteins.

Purinergic and muscarinic modulation of the cell cycle and calcium signaling in the chick retinal ventricular zone [PDF]
, 2002 Spontaneous calcium transients occur in the ventricular zone of the chick retina and result from the endogenous release of neurotransmitters in the absence of action potentials.

Biochemical studies on muscarinic cholinergic receptors [PDF]
, 2016 A novel solubilising agent (0.l% sodium cholate—lM NaCl) has been developed which will solubilise 10—30% of muscarinic cholinergic receptors from bovine caudate nucleus.

Distribution and effects of the muscarinic receptor subtypes in the primary visual cortex
Frontiers in Synaptic Neuroscience, 2015 Muscarinic cholinergic receptors modulate the activity and plasticity of the visual cortex. Muscarinic receptors are divided into 5 subtypes that are not homogeneously distributed throughout the cortical layers and cells types.

Differing time dependencies of object recognition memory impairments produced by nicotinic and muscarinic cholinergic antagonism in perirhinal cortex [PDF]
, 2011 The roles of muscarinic and nicotinic cholinergic receptors in perirhinal cortex in object recognition memory were compared. Rats' discrimination of a novel object preference test (NOP) test was measured after either systemic or local infusion into the ...

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.

Long-term activation upon brief exposure to xanomleline is unique to M1 and M4 subtypes of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Xanomeline is an agonist endowed with functional preference for M1/M4 muscarinic acetylcholine receptors. It also exhibits both reversible and wash-resistant binding to and activation of these receptors.

Muscarinic receptor oligomerization [PDF]
Neuropharmacology, 2018 G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) have been classically described as monomeric entities that function by binding in a 1:1 stoichiometric ratio to both ligand and downstream signalling proteins. However, in recent years, a growing number of studies has supported the hypothesis that these receptors can interact to form dimers and higher order oligomers
