Recombinant CHO-K1 cells have been created to stably overexpress human cholinergic receptor muscarinic 2 (M2) on their surface. These cells contain high levels of the G protein Gαi, which is crucial for coupling with the receptor in downstream signaling pathways.
Drug screening and biological assays
This gene encodes a muscarinic acetylcholine receptor, which is a G protein-coupled receptor that plays a role in regulating cardiac function, smooth muscle contraction, and neurotransmitter release in the central nervous system.
