All muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (M1-M5) are expressed in murine brain microvascular endothelium
Abstract Clinical and experimental studies indicate that muscarinic acetylcholine receptors are potential pharmacological targets for the treatment of neurological diseases. Although these receptors have been described in human, bovine and rat cerebral microvascular tissue, a subtype functional char...
