Values are mean ± S.E. from three experiments except for the functional response caused by ACh binding to wild-type M1mAChR, which was determined from nine experiments. The Hill coefficients ranged from 0.8 to 1.2 with the possible exception of ACh-reversed ester at the wild-type receptor.

    • 4-a The response has been measured as a percentage of the fold basal response produced by ACh at the wild-type M1 mAChR. The maximum response produced by ACh binding as measured by fold basal (and basal response) at wild-type, Tyr381Phe, and Tyr381Ala were 4.4 ± 0.4 (475 ± 32 dpm), 5.5 ± 0.3 (379 ± 30 dpm), and 5.2 ± 0.6 (332 ± 32 dpm), respectively.
