(redirected from M-type receptor)

PLA2R1

A gene on chromosome 2q23-q24 that encodes a C-type lectin domain protein which acts as a receptor for secretory phospholipase sPLA2-IB, but not for sPLA2-IIA. Binding of sPLA2-IB/PLA2G1B induces different effects depending on the cell type, such as activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascade to induce cell proliferation, production of lipid mediators, selective release of arachidonic acid in bone marrow-derived mast cells, and activation of p38 MAPK to stimulate elastase release and cell adhesion in neutrophils.

Due to the variety of muscarinic receptors taking part in signal transduction and activation of stomach smooth muscles it seemed reasonable to examine firstly general participation of M-type receptors in [alpha]-hederin-induced contraction of isolated stomach strips followed by the contribution of particular M-type receptors.
