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.

Enhanced muscarinic M1 receptor gene expression in the corpus striatum of streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats [PDF]
Journal of Biomedical Science, 2009 Acetylcholine (ACh), the first neurotransmitter to be identified, regulate the activities of central and peripheral functions through interactions with muscarinic receptors. Changes in muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAChR) have been implicated in the

Allosteric Modulation of Muscarinic Acetylcholine Receptors
Pharmaceuticals, 2010 An allosteric modulator is a ligand that binds to an allosteric site on the receptor and changes receptor conformation to produce increase (positive cooperativity) or decrease (negative cooperativity) in the binding or action of an orthosteric agonist (e.

Muscarinic receptors and ligands in cancer.
American Journal of Physiology-Cell Physiology, 2009 Emerging evidence indicates that muscarinic receptors and ligands play key roles in regulating cellular proliferation and cancer progression. Both neuronal and nonneuronal acetylcholine production results in neurocrine, paracrine, and autocrine promotion

Acetylcholine receptors (muscarinic) in GtoPdb v.2021.2
IUPHAR/BPS Guide to Pharmacology CITE, 2021 Muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChRs) (nomenclature as agreed by the NC-IUPHAR Subcommittee on Muscarinic Acetylcholine Receptors [50]) are activated by the endogenous agonist acetylcholine. All five (M1-M5) mAChRs are ubiquitously expressed in the

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2023 Pre-clinical models, postmortem and neuroimaging studies all support a role for muscarinic receptors in the molecular pathology of schizophrenia. From these data it was proposed that activation of the muscarinic M1 and/or M4 receptor would reduce the ...

Characterization of Bladder Selectivity of Antimuscarinic Agents on the Basis of Drug-Receptor Binding [PDF]
International Neurourology Journal, 2012 The in vivo muscarinic receptor binding of antimuscarinic agents (oxybutynin, solifenacin, tolterodine, and imidafenacin) used to treat urinary dysfunction in patients with overactive bladder is reviewed.

Antipsychotic-like effect of the muscarinic acetylcholine receptor agonist BuTAC in non-human primates. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Cholinergic, muscarinic receptor agonists exhibit functional dopamine antagonism and muscarinic receptors have been suggested as possible future targets for the treatment of schizophrenia and drug abuse. The muscarinic ligand (5R,6R)-6-(3-butylthio-1,2,5-

PLoS ONE, 2020 Triple negative tumors are more aggressive than other breast cancer subtypes and there is a lack of specific therapeutic targets on them. Since muscarinic receptors have been linked to tumor progression, we investigated the effect of metronomic therapy ...
