Product Specific Information
Monoclonal antibody B8E5 acts by functional dimerization of the receptor resulting in stabilization of the constitutive active receptor dimers and paradoxically induces a small decrease in carbachol affinity for the M2 receptor. It recognizes the pentapeptide VRTVE (aa 168-172) corresponding to the N-terminal part of the second extracellular loop of the human M2 receptor.
Target Information
Muscarinic cholinergic receptor 2 (CHRM2) is an Acetylcholine Receptor has been suggested to function as a presynaptic autoreceptor that inhibits acetylcholine release. The M2 receptor has also been suggested to mediate smooth muscle contractility. Alzheimer's disease (AD) involves selective loss of M2 subtype receptors in cortical and hippocampal regions of the human brain. Increase in M2 receptor heterozygosity has been associated with depression in women. The M2 receptor has been reported to be expressed in various regions of the brain including the cerebellum, cerebral cortex, hippocampus, medulla, striatum, and thalamus, and in lung and prostate.
