Rabbit anti-Human CHRM1 Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

P11229

Target Species

Human

Target Name

CHRM1

Target Full Name

Muscarinic acetylcholine receptor M1

Target Function

The muscarinic acetylcholine receptor mediates various cellular responses, including inhibition of adenylate cyclase, breakdown of phosphoinositides and modulation of potassium channels through the action of G proteins. Primary transducing effect is Pi turnover.

Target Subcellular Location

Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Cell junction, synapse, postsynaptic cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.

Target Protein Families

G-protein coupled receptor 1 family, Muscarinic acetylcholine receptor subfamily, CHRM1 sub-subfamily

Target Research Area

Neuroscience

Target Synonyms

CHRM1; Muscarinic acetylcholine receptor M1

Target Background

The muscarinic cholinergic receptors belong to a larger family of G protein-coupled receptors. 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 muscarinic cholinergic receptor 1 is involved in mediation of vagally-induced bronchoconstriction and in the acid secretion of the gastrointestinal tract. The gene encoding this receptor is localized to 11q13.
