The muscarinic acetylcholine receptor M₃, also known as the cholinergic receptor, muscarinic 3, is a muscarinic acetylcholine receptor. It is encoded by the human gene CHRM3.^[1]

The M₃ muscarinic receptors are located at many places in the body, e.g. smooth muscles, endocrine, in exocrine glands, as well as in the lungs. They are also found in the CNS, where it induces emesis They generally cause smooth muscle contraction and increased glandular secretions.^[1]

They are unresponsive to PTX and CTX.

Mechanism

Like the M₁ muscarinic receptor, M₃ receptors are G proteins of class G_q which upregulate phospholipase C and therefore inositol trisphosphate and intracellular calcium as a signalling pathway. The calcium function in humans also involves activation of protein kinase C and its effects.

Effects

Smooth muscle

Because the M₃ receptor is G_q-coupled and mediates an increase in intracellular calcium, it typically causes constriction of smooth muscle, such as that observed during bronchoconstriction. However, with respect to vasculature, activation of M₃ on vascular endothelial cells causes increased synthesis of nitric oxide which diffuses to adjacent vascular smooth muscle cells and causes their relaxation and vasodilation thereby explaining the paradoxical effect of parasympathomimetics on vascular tone and bronchiolar tone. Indeed, direct stimulation of vascular smooth muscle M₃ mediates vasoconstriction in pathologies whereby the vascular endothelium is disrupted.^[2]

Other

The M₃ receptors are also located in many glands, both endocrine and exocrine glands, and help to stimulate secretion in salivary glands and other glands of the body.

Other effects are:

increased secretions from stomach
Eye accommodation

Agonists

Antagonists
