The expression of the five muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAChR) subtypes (m1-m5) in the vestibular end-organs and in the primary afferent vestibular ganglia of the human and rat was studied using RT-PCR from the two tissue populations from both species. In the human, although all five mAChR sub

## Abstract Muscarinic receptors subserve many functions in both peripheral and central nervous systems. Some of these processes depend on increases in protein synthesis, which may be achieved by activation of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), a kinase that regulates protein translation capacit
Previous studies have demonstrated that muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChRs) are expressed by human skin fibroblasts (HSF). We have identified the molecular subtypes of these receptors by reverse transcriptionpolymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), using m1-m5 subtype-specific primers. These expe
The roles of the muscarinic acetylcholine (ACh) receptors (mAChRs) in long-term potentiation (LTP) at many areas of the central nervous system including the hippocampus, have been extensively studied. However, not much is known about the modulation of LTP through individual subtypes of mAChR (M(1)-M
In the rabbit bladder, pregnancy and prolonged bladder contractions decrease both muscarinic receptor density and contractile response, whereas newborns show enhanced muscarinic contractile response. Although the M 2 receptor predominates in rabbit bladder, we and others have shown that the affinity
