Distribution of Muscarinic Acethylcholine Receptors and Related Signal

Muscarinic receptors are members of G protein coupled receptor family. Molecularcloning studies indicate five intronless genes that encode five muscarinic receptorglycoproteins. Muscarinic receptor genes are fairly similar between species.Muscarinic receptors mediate many cellular responses by activ...
