Cholinergic Receptor, Muscarinic 5 - ExpressMAX™ Human GPCR ORF Clones

M5 receptor is principally expressed in the CNS although it is also found in heart and esophageal smooth muscle. No highly selective agonists or antagonists for the M5 receptor have been discovered as of 2009, but several non-selective muscarinic agonists and antagonists have significant affinity for M5. The functional diversity of these receptors is defined by the binding of acetylcholine and includes cellular responses such as adenylate cyclase inhibition, phosphoinositide degeneration, and potassium channel mediation. Muscarinic receptors influence many effects of acetylcholine in the central and peripheral nervous system. The clinical implications of this receptor are unknown, however, stimulation of this receptor is known to increase cyclic AMP levels.
