cholinergic receptor muscarinic 1 (CHRM1)

Human CHRM1

Figure. Concentration-dependent activation of CHRM1 by carbachol

Reporter cells were transfected with either the expression plasmid for human cholinergic receptor muscarinic 1 (CHRM1) or the mock plasmid and treated with various concentrations of carbachol. Data points shown are the mean ± SEM of an experiment (n = 3), and the curve is a fit to Hill equation with an EC50 of 310 nM.

Acetylcholine receptors (muscarinic)
Muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChRs) are activated by the endogenous agonist acetylcholine. All five (M1-M5) mAChRs are ubiquitously expressed in the human body and are therefore attractive targets for... [read more] many disorders. Functionally, M₁, M₃, and M₅ mAChRs preferentially couple to G_q/11 proteins, whilst M₂ and M₄ mAChRs predominantly couple to G_i/o proteins. Both agonists and antagonists of mAChRs are clinically approved drugs, including pilocarpine for the treatment of elevated intra-ocular pressure and glaucoma, and atropine for the treatment of bradycardia and poisoning by muscarinic agents such as organophosphates.
