The parasympathetic branch of the autonomic nervous system regulates the activity of multiple
organ systems. Muscarinic receptors are G-protein-coupled receptors that mediate the …

Cloning and sequence analysis of DNA complementary to porcine cerebral messenger RNA
encoding the muscarinic acetylcholine receptor predict the complete amino-acid sequence …

We have identified novel G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) with no introns in the coding
region from the human genome sequence: 322 olfactory receptors; 22 taste receptors; 128 …

The vertebrate olfactory system discriminates a wide variety of odorants by relaying coded
information from olfactory sensory neurons in the olfactory epithelium to olfactory cortical …

In cholinergic neurons, high-affinity choline uptake in presynaptic terminals is the rate-limiting
step in acetylcholine synthesis. Using information provided by the Caenorhabditis elegans …

The olfactory system is remarkable in its capacity to discriminate a wide range of odorants
through a series of transduction events initiated in olfactory receptor neurons. Each olfactory …

Muscarinic acetylcholine receptors, which comprise five subtypes (M1-M5 receptors), are
expressed in both the CNS and PNS (particularly the target organs of parasympathetic neurons…

The complete amino acid sequence of the porcine cardiac muscarinic acetylcholine receptor
has been deduced by cloning and sequencing the cDNA. The tissue location of the RNA …

cDNA clones encoding the third member of the RAC protein kinase family, termed RAC-PK γ,
were isolated from a rat brain cDNA library. The deduced amino acid sequence of RAC-PK …

The uptake of [ 3 H]choline into synaptosomes and the subsequent synthesis of [ 3 H]acetylcholine
were examined as functions of choline, Na + and hemicholinium-3 concentrations in …
