M2 muscarinic receptor

Organism

Rat 1, 2

Functional implication

Receptor translocates in to caveolae upon agonist treatment 1, 2; Possibly internalization by raft –dependent mechanism which negatively controls NO signaling 2

Methods used to detect raft association

Detergent-free 1,2; Immunoprecipitation 1

Mechanism of raft association

n.a

Caveolin-binding motif

n.a

Cell type

Ventricular myocytes 1; Cardiac myocytes 2; COS-7 cells 2

Species

Rat 1, 2; Monkey 2

Receptor expression

Endogenous 1; Cardiac myocyte: endogenous 2; COS-7 cells: transient transfection2
