Characteristics of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors in rat brain. [PDF]
Characteristics of muscarinic acetylcholine (ACh) receptors were studied in the rat central nervous system (CNS) using 3H-quinuclidinyl benzilate (QNB), an antagonist of muscarinic ACh receptors. Scatchard analysis indicated that the rat CNS had a single

Expression of functional M2 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor in Escherichia coli [PDF]
The M2 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor mutant (M2 mutant), with a lack of glycosylation sites, a deletion in the central part of the third inner loop, and the addition of a six histidine tag at the C-terminus, was fused to maltose binding protein (MBP)

The Hypoxia Screen as an Indicator of Alterations in the Number of Centeral Cholinergic Recpetors Inuduced by Chronic Acetylcholinestrerase Inhibition [PDF]
Chronic administration of diisopropyl fluorophosphate (DFP) at 72 hour intervals for a total of 14 doses resulted in a reduction in the number of central muscarinic receptors in mice as measured by the specific binding of [3H]Quinuclidinyl benzilate (QNB)

Sequestration of Muscarinic Cholinergic Receptors in Permeabilized Neuroblastoma Cells [PDF]
The feasibility of using a permeabilized preparation of human SH-SY-5Y neuroblastoma cells for studies of muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAChR) sequestration has been evaluated. Exposure of cells permeabilized with digitonin, streptolysin-O, or the Α-

Regulation by isoproterenol of muscarinic acetylcholine receptor numbers and sensitivity in rat submandibular, but not lacrimal, glands [PDF]
Chronic administration of -isoproterenol, a [beta]-adrenergic agonist, to male Sprague-Dawley rats increased submandibular gland weights by 3 to 4-fold. This increase resulted from a combination of hyperplasia and hypertrophy of secretory cells. Possible

Hm1 muscarinic cholinergic receptor internalization requires a domain in the third cytoplasmic loop [PDF]
Selected regions of the Hm1 muscarinic cholinergic receptor were mutated to analyze the molecular mechanisms of agonist-induced receptor internalization (or sequestration).
