Background |
Muscarinic acetylcholine receptors belong to a superfamily of seven-TM-domain receptors that interact with G-proteins to initiate intracellular responses. Five muscarinic receptor subtypes have been identified and named from M1 to M5. The M2 muscarinic receptor couples to Gi/o to inhibit cAMP production. GenScript co-transfected human M2 with Gα15 in the CHO-K1 which supports high levels of recombinant M2 expression on the cell surface and contains high levels of Gα15 to couple the receptor to the calcium signaling pathway. |

Figure 1. Oxotremorine M-induced concentration-dependent stimulation of intracellular calcium mobilization in CHO-K1/M2/Gα15 cells. The cells were loaded with Calcium-4 prior to being stimulated with agonist oxotremorin M. The intracellular calcium change was normalized and measured by FLIPR. The relative fluorescent units (RFU) were normalized and plotted against the log of the cumulative doses of oxotremorin M (Mean ± SEM, n = 3). The EC50 of oxotremorin M on this cell was 62.38 nM.
Notes:
EC50 value is calculated with four parameter logistic equation:
Y=Bottom + (Top-Bottom) / (1+10^((LogEC50-X)*Hill Slope))
X is the logarithm of concentration. Y is the response
Y is RFU and starts at Bottom and goes to Top with a sigmoid shape.
