The muscarinic acetylcholine receptor M1, also known as the cholinergic receptor, muscarinic 1, is a muscarinic receptor that in humans is encoded by the CHRM1gene.[5] It is localized to 11q13.[5]
This receptor is found mediating slow EPSP at the ganglion in the postganglionic nerve,[6] is common in exocrine glands and in the CNS.[7][8]
It is predominantly found bound to G proteins of class Gq[9][10] that use upregulation of phospholipase C and, therefore, inositol trisphosphate and intracellular calcium as a signalling pathway. A receptor so bound would not be susceptible to CTX or PTX. However, Gi (causing a downstream decrease in cAMP) and Gs (causing an increase in cAMP) have also been shown to be involved in interactions in certain tissues, and so would be susceptible to PTX and CTX respectively.
Via the central nervous system (especially within the brain); mediating certain core aspects of perception, attention, cognitive functioning and likely; memory consolidation.[11][12] This is a notable component in regards to the M1 receptor since it helps explain how pharmacological compounds which antagonize the receptor site can consistently produce mental states like delirium (a major disruption in attention and decrease in baseline-level cognitive functioning), as well as the perceptual alterations and conspicuous hallucinations experienced with deliriant drugs like Datura. As of 2015, the M1 receptor remains the only known muscarinic receptor to have this effect of hallucinogenic delirium when its functionality is inhibited or antagonized.[13]
It couples to Gq, and, to a small extent, Gi and Gs. This results in slow EPSP and decreased K+ conductance.[12][17] It is preassembled to the Gq heterotrimer through a polybasic c-terminal domain.[9]
