The muscarinic receptors belong to the superfamily of 7-transmembrane G-protein coupled receptors. Five subtypes of muscarinic receptors have been cloned and are named M1-M5.1-2The muscarinic receptors are widely distributed throughout the body but are predominantly expressed in the parasympathetic nervous system and exert both excitatory and inhibitory control over central and peripheral tissues.1-2Muscarinic receptors participate in a number of physiological functions such as regulation of heart rate, muscle contraction, cognition, sensory processing, and motor control.1 They also participate in learning and memory processing.3-4The M2 receptor is considered to be the predominant muscarinic receptor subtype that is expressed in cardiac muscle.5The M2 and M4 receptors mediate Ca2+ channel inhibition and Kir3 K+ channel activation by directly binding the Gβγ subunit to the channel.6,7 Stimulation of the M2 receptor by acetylcholine in the heart results in activation of the Kir3.1\/Kir3.4 channels causing a slowing in heart beat.7\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch2\u003eResearch relevance and current trends\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cul\u003e   \u003cli\u003eMapping receptor\/channel localization across neuronal subtypes and subcellular compartments.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eLinking trafficking or surface expression changes to activity-dependent signaling and plasticity.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eUsing KO\/KD or blocking-peptide concepts to strengthen antibody-based target assignment.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003ch2\u003eCommon research applications\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cul\u003e   \u003cli\u003eWestern blot (WB): compare target abundance\/size across lysates and conditions;
