[Attempts to enrich and to solubilize the muscarinic acetylcholinereceptor from bovine caudate nucleus (author's transl)]. 1979

K P Ruess, and M Liefländer, and K H Herzog

Neuronal membranes of postsynaptic origin twofold enriched in acetylcholinesterase, muscarinic acetylcholinereceptor and (Na+/K+)-ATP-Phosphohydrolase, proteins associated with cholinergic nerve excitability, were prepared with yields between 60 and 75% from bovine caudate nucleus. On subfractionation of these membranes an additional twofold enrichment of the mentioned proteins is achieved in different subfractions. SDS-gradient gel electrophoresis shows that these subfractions have slightly different polypeptide compositions. Neuronal membranes of presynaptic origin on the other hand, prepared from purified synaptosomes, possess only small amounts of the mentioned proteins, showing no enrichment with respect to the homogenate. Solubilization of acetylcholinesterase with 1 M NaC1 as well as of muscarinic acetylcholinreceptor with 2 M NaC1 does not succeed. These proteins are therefore not solely bound by ionic forces to the isolated membranes from bovine caudate nucleus.

D011950 Receptors, Cholinergic Cell surface proteins that bind acetylcholine with high affinity and trigger intracellular changes influencing the behavior of cells. Cholinergic receptors are divided into two major classes, muscarinic and nicotinic, based originally on their affinity for nicotine and muscarine. Each group is further subdivided based on pharmacology, location, mode of action, and/or molecular biology. ACh Receptor,Acetylcholine Receptor,Acetylcholine Receptors,Cholinergic Receptor,Cholinergic Receptors,Cholinoceptive Sites,Cholinoceptor,Cholinoceptors,Receptors, Acetylcholine,ACh Receptors,Receptors, ACh,Receptor, ACh,Receptor, Acetylcholine,Receptor, Cholinergic,Sites, Cholinoceptive
D011976 Receptors, Muscarinic One of the two major classes of cholinergic receptors. Muscarinic receptors were originally defined by their preference for MUSCARINE over NICOTINE. There are several subtypes (usually M1, M2, M3....) that are characterized by their cellular actions, pharmacology, and molecular biology.
