文摘The muscarinic receptor family expressed in smooth muscle throughout the body is thought to be composed of five subtypes coupling to distinct signaling systems,respectively.The population in smooth muscle is composed of mainly M 2 and M 3 subtypes in a 80% to 20% mixture. The muscarinic receptor, mainly M 3 receptor, play an important role in regulating gastrointestinal smooth muscle contraction. Selective muscarinic M 3 antagonist should have therapeutic utility in the treatment of gastrointestinal disease.
