Data Sheet
Background: The human muscarinic M4 receptor is a 479-amino acid, 7- transmembrane protein. In heart muscle, M4 receptors are coupled to specific K+ currents that regulate cardiac muscle contractions. They can also be found in tissues of the central nervous system and bladder.
Application: Functional assays

Receptor expression on cell surface measured by flow cytometry (FACS) using an anti-FLAG antibody. Thin line: parental cells; thick line: receptor-expressing cells.
