    Article Title: Effects of muscarinic toxins MT2 and MT7, from green mamba venom, on m1, m3 and m5 muscarinic receptors expressed in Chinese Hamster Ovary cells.
    Article Snippet: Several small proteins called muscarinic toxins (MTs) have been isolated from venom of green mamba (Dendroaspis angusticeps ).. They have previously been shown in radioligand binding studies to have high selectivity and affinity for individual muscarinic receptor subtypes, but less is known of their functional effects.. This study has examined the actions of two of these MTs, MT2 and MT7, using changes in cytosolic Ca2þ ([Ca]i) measured using the fluorescent indicator fura-2 in Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cells stably transfected with individual muscarinic receptor subtypes, m1, m3 and m5.
