General description

Muscarinic acetylcholine receptor 1 (M1) is a member of class A G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) family, which is encoded by the CHRM1 gene. Muscarinic receptors have seven transmembrane domains localized in the parasympathetic nerve sub-synaptic membrane. The CHRM1 gene is located on human chromosome location 11q12.3.
Muscarinic cholinergic receptor 1 (M1) is seen in the forebrain of rats.

Immunogen

GST fusion protein of a part of the i3 intracellular loop of human M1 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAChR) corresponding to amino acid residues 227-353.1, 2

Application

Anti-Muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (M1) antibody produced in rabbit has been used in immunohistochemistry and Western blotting.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Muscarinic acetylcholine receptor 1 (M1) regulates normal prostate growth and reduced-level glandular secretion. Muscarinic receptors play a major role in tumor progression. Muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChRs) regulates adenylyl cyclase and potassium channel activities. It also stimulates various mitogen-activated protein kinases. M1 may be useful for the discovery of therapeutics for Alzheimer′s disease.
Studies have shown that activation of muscarinic cholinergic receptor 1 (M1) in rats leads to changes in the endotoxin tolerance in the liver.

Physical form

Lyophilized from a solution of phosphate-buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 1% bovine serum albumin, and 0.05% sodium azide.

The mechanisms initiating pancreatitis in patients with chronic alcohol abuse are poorly understood. Although alcohol feeding has been previously suggested to alter cholinergic pathways, the effects of these cholinergic alterations in promoting pancreatitis have not been characterized.

Nicotine addiction develops predominantly during human adolescence through smoking. Self-administration experiments in rodents verify this biological preponderance to adolescence, suggesting evolutionary-conserved and age-defined mechanisms which influence the susceptibility to nicotine addiction.
