mAChR

mAChR

The acetylcholine receptors known as mAChRs (muscarinic acetylcholine receptors) are found in the cell membranes of some neurons and other cells. The primary end-receptor stimulated by acetylcholine released from postganglionic fibers in the parasympathetic nervous system is one of their many functions. Because they are more sensitive to muscarine than to nicotine, mAChRs are so named. Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs), receptor ion channels that are also significant in the autonomic nervous system, are their counterparts. Numerous medications and other substances, such as scopolamine and pilocarpine, act as selective agonists or antagonists on these two different receptors. The brain and the autonomic ganglia are both rich sources of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine (ACh).
