Values for EC50 and fold maximal stimulation of phosphatidylinositol metabolism are shown for the indicated receptor site densities. These values are compared with the wild-type values for the same range of receptor site densities observed in wild-type-expressing CHO cells from data previously reported (20). Results with pilocarpine were not significant. EC50 values are presented ± standard deviation.
↵2-a Maximal stimulation increased with increasing [R] as in wild-type.
