1. Carbachol-induced homologous desensitization of the secretory response was investigated by transfecting RBL-2H3 cells with cDNA encoding the human m3 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (RBL-m3). 2. Exposure of RBL-m3 cells to 100 microM carbachol for 30 min in Ca2+-free medium inhibited the secretion induced by the subsequent addition of 10 microM carbachol plus Ca2+. 3. Desensitized cells bound [3H]quinuclidinyl benzilate with a similar Bmax and Kd to those of control cells. 4. The carbachol-induced transient increase in levels of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate was not changed by desensitization. 5. Homologous desensitization persisted when desensitized cells were permeabilized with Staphylococcal alpha-toxin.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D010738 Type C Phospholipases A subclass of phospholipases that hydrolyze the phosphoester bond found in the third position of GLYCEROPHOSPHOLIPIDS. Although the singular term phospholipase C specifically refers to an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of PHOSPHATIDYLCHOLINE (EC 3.1.4.3), it is commonly used in the literature to refer to broad variety of enzymes that specifically catalyze the hydrolysis of PHOSPHATIDYLINOSITOLS. Lecithinase C,Phospholipase C,Phospholipases, Type C,Phospholipases C
D010957 Plasmids Extrachromosomal, usually CIRCULAR DNA molecules that are self-replicating and transferable from one organism to another. They are found in a variety of bacterial, archaeal, fungal, algal, and plant species. They are used in GENETIC ENGINEERING as CLONING VECTORS. Episomes,Episome,Plasmid
D011813 Quinuclidinyl Benzilate A high-affinity muscarinic antagonist commonly used as a tool in animal and tissue studies. Benzilate, Quinuclidinyl
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.

D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D001619 beta-N-Acetylhexosaminidases A hexosaminidase specific for non-reducing N-acetyl-D-hexosamine residues in N-acetyl-beta-D-hexosaminides. It acts on GLUCOSIDES; GALACTOSIDES; and several OLIGOSACCHARIDES. Two specific mammalian isoenzymes of beta-N-acetylhexoaminidase are referred to as HEXOSAMINIDASE A and HEXOSAMINIDASE B. Deficiency of the type A isoenzyme causes TAY-SACHS DISEASE, while deficiency of both A and B isozymes causes SANDHOFF DISEASE. The enzyme has also been used as a tumor marker to distinguish between malignant and benign disease. beta-N-Acetylhexosaminidase,N-Acetyl-beta-D-hexosaminidase,beta-Hexosaminidase,beta-N-Acetyl-D-hexosaminidase,beta-N-Acetyl-hexosaminidase,N Acetyl beta D hexosaminidase,beta Hexosaminidase,beta N Acetyl D hexosaminidase,beta N Acetyl hexosaminidase,beta N Acetylhexosaminidase,beta N Acetylhexosaminidases
