Developmental regulation of five subunit specific mRNAs encoding acetylcholine receptor subtypes in rat muscle.
The muscular content of the mRNAs encoding the five subunits of the nicotonic acetylcholine receptor was measured during postnatal development in the rat. Subunit specific mRNAs show differential regulation. The levels of the alpha-, gamma- and delta-subunit specific mRNAs decrease steadily after birth, while the beta- and epsilon-subunit mRNAs increase transiently and then decrease. The adult ...
متن کاملCoupling of transfected muscarinic acetylcholine receptor subtypes to phospholipase D.
Muscarinic receptor-induced changes in the activities of phospholipase D (PLD) and of phosphoinositide-phospholipase C (PI-PLC) were investigated in human embryonic kidney (HEK) cells transfected with, and stably expressing, the human m1, m2, m3, and m4 mAChR subtypes, respectively. PLD and PI-PLC activities in these four transfected cell lines as well as in nontransfected cells were measured b...
متن کاملMuscarinic acetylcholine receptor subtypes as agonist-dependent oncogenes.
We have evaluated the muscarinic acetylcholine family of G protein-coupled receptors (mAChRs) for their oncogenic potential. These receptors are preferentially expressed in postmitotic cells, transducing signals specified by their endogenous agonist, the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Cells transfected with individual human mAChR genes were morphologically indistinguishable from parental NIH 3...
متن کاملMuscarinic receptor subtypes in airways.
Muscarinic receptor subtypes in the airways appear to subserve different physiological functions. M1-receptors facilitate neurotransmission through parasympathetic ganglia and enhance cholinergic reflexes, but are also localized to alveolar walls. M2-receptors act as autoreceptors on post-ganglionic cholinergic nerves and inhibit acetylcholine release. There is some evidence that they may be de...
متن کاملMUSCARINIC RECEPTOR SUBTYPES IN SMOOTH MUSCLE FROM THE BODY OF HUMAN STOMACH
Up to date, there are four pharmacologically characterized subtypes of muscarinic receptors (M1, M2, M3 and M4). In our study we have investigated muscarinic receptor subtypes in smooth muscle layers of human stomach. Isolated preparations of longitudinal and circular muscle layers from human stomach were used. Acetylcholine, bethanechol, carbachol, pilocarpine and AHR -602 produced concen...
