TABLE 1

Nucleotide sequences of TaqMan PCR primers and probes used in real-time RT-PCR experiments to quantify relative M1-M5 mAChR (mouse) expression levels

All probes were labeled at the 5′ end with 6-carboxyfluorescein and at the 3′ end with 6-carboxytetramethylrhodamine. Nucleotide positions refer to the receptor coding sequences
