Homologous and Heterologous Phosphorylations of Human Histamine H1 Receptor in Intact Cells
Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2004 Homologous and heterologous phosphorylations of histamine H1 receptor (H1R) in intact cells were investigated using Chinese hamster ovary cells stably co-expressing c-myctagged human histamine H1 and muscarinic M3 receptors. Increase in histamine-induced

Evidence for precoupling of inactive M3 muscarinic receptors and Gq Protein [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, 2009 Two models have been proposed to explain how G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) interact with heterotrimeric G proteins to transduce physiological signals. One model suggests that GPCRs and G proteins collide with each other randomly after receptor activation and that binding is transient.

Novel Insights into M3 Muscarinic Acetylcholine Receptor Physiology and Structure [PDF]
Journal of Molecular Neuroscience, 2013 Recent studies with M3 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (M3R) mutant mice suggest that drugs selectively targeting this receptor subtype may prove useful for the treatment of various pathophysiological conditions. Moreover, the use of M3R-based designer G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) has provided novel insights into how Gq-coupled GPCRs can ...
