Physiological functions of prostanoid receptors and their subtypes.

Prostanoid receptors: structures, properties, and functions.

Prostanoids are the cyclooxygenase metabolites of arachidonic acid and include prostaglandin (PG) D(2), PGE(2), PGF(2alpha), PGI(2), and thromboxne A(2). They are synthesized and released upon cell stimulation and act on cells in the vicinity of their synthesis to exert their actions. Receptors mediating the actions of prostanoids were recently identified and cloned. They are G protein-coupled ...

VIII. International Union of Pharmacology Classification of Prostanoid Receptors: Properties, Distribution, and Structure of the Receptors and Their Subtypes

International Union of Pharmacology classification of prostanoid receptors: properties, distribution, and structure of the receptors and their subtypes.

Identification and characterization of multiple subtypes of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors and their physiological functions in canine hearts.

M2 receptors have long been believed to be the only functional subtype of muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAChR) in the heart, although recent studies have provided evidence for the presence of other subtypes. We performed a detailed study to clarify this issue. In the presence of tetramethylammonium (1 microM to 10 mM), a novel K+ current with both delayed rectifying and inward rectifying p...
