Generalized predictive model of estimation of inhibition of muscarinic receptors M1-M5

Biomedical Chemistry: Research and Methods, 2020
A general predictive model for assessing the inhibition constant (K_i) value of human acetylcholine muscarinic receptors M1-M5 by potential ligands has been constructed. We used information on the three-dimensional structure of human M1, M2, M4, and M5 receptors, as well as a model of the M3 receptor constructed according to ...

Muscarinic acetylcholine receptor M5 is involved in spermatogenesis through the modification of cell–cell junctions [PDF]

Reproduction, 2021
Abstract Muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAChR) antagonists have been reported to decrease male fertility; however, the roles of mAChRs in spermatogenesis and the underlying mechanisms are not understood yet. During spermatogenesis, extensive remodeling between Sertoli cells and/or germ cells interfaces takes place to accommodate ...

Fine Tuning Muscarinic Acetylcholine Receptor Signaling Through Allostery and Bias

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2021
The M1 and M4 muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChRs) are highly pursued drug targets for neurological diseases, in particular for Alzheimer’s disease and schizophrenia.

Calcium Mobilization by Activation of M3/M5 Muscarinic Receptors in the Human Retinoblastoma

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2007
Activation of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChR) is one of the most important signal transduction pathways in the human body. In this study, we investigated the role of mAChR activation in relation to its subtypes in human retinoblastoma cell ...

Loss of M5 muscarinic acetylcholine receptors leads to cerebrovascular and neuronal abnormalities and cognitive deficits in mice

Neurobiology of Disease, 2006
The M5 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (M5R) has been shown to play a crucial role in mediating acetylcholine-dependent dilation of cerebral blood vessels.

Regulation of the Muscarinic M3 Receptor by Myocardin-Related Transcription Factors

Frontiers in Physiology, 2021
Myocardin-related transcription factors (MRTFs: myocardin/MYOCD, MRTF-A/MRTFA, and MRTF-B/MRTFB) are co-factors of serum response factor (SRF) that activate the smooth muscle cell (SMC) gene program and that play roles in cardiovascular development and ...

The M1 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor subtype is important for retinal neuron survival in aging mice

Scientific Reports, 2019
Muscarinic acetylcholine receptors have been implicated as potential neuroprotective targets for glaucoma. We tested the hypothesis that the lack of a single muscarinic receptor subtype leads to age-dependent neuron reduction in the retinal ganglion cell

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.

Acetylcholine and spinal locomotor networks: The insider

Physiological Reports, 2021
This article aims to review studies that have investigated the role of neurons that use the transmitter acetylcholine (ACh) in controlling the operation of locomotor neural networks within the spinal cord. This cholinergic system has the particularity of

Long-Term—But Not Short-Term—Plasticity at the Mossy Fiber–CA3 Pyramidal Cell Synapse in Hippocampus Is Altered in M1/M3 Muscarinic Acetylcholine Receptor Double Knockout Mice

Cells, 2023
Muscarinic acetylcholine receptors are well-known for their crucial involvement in hippocampus-dependent learning and memory, but the exact roles of the various receptor subtypes (M1–M5) are still not fully understood.
