Cloning, sequencing and expression of complementary DNA encoding the muscarinic acetylcholine receptor

Nature. 1986 Oct;323(6087):411-6. doi: 10.1038/323411a0.

Abstract

Cloning and sequence analysis of DNA complementary to porcine cerebral messenger RNA encoding the muscarinic acetylcholine receptor predict the complete amino-acid sequence of this protein. Expression of the complementary DNA produced functional muscarinic receptor in Xenopus oocytes. The muscarinic receptor is homologous with the beta-adrenergic receptor and rhodopsin in both amino-acid sequence and suggested transmembrane topography.
