The muscarinic acetylcholine receptor M2, also known as the cholinergic receptor, muscarinic 2, is a muscarinic acetylcholine receptor.

Function

Heart

The M2 muscarinic receptors are located in the heart, where they act to slow the heart rate down to normal sinus rhythm after stimulatory actions of the sympathetic nervous system, by slowing the speed of depolarization. They also reduce contractile forces of the atrial cardiac muscle, and reduce conduction velocity of the atrioventricular node (AV node). However, they have no effect on the contractile forces of the ventricular muscle.

IQ

There is "a highly significant association" between the CHRM2 gene and intelligence according to a 2006 Dutch family study. The study concluded that there was an association between the CHRM2 gene on chromosome 7 and Performance IQ, as measured by the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised. The Dutch family study used a sample of 667 individuals from 304 families.[1] A similar association was found independently in the Minnesota Twin and Family Study (Comings et al. 2003) and by the Department of Psychiatry at the Washington University.[2] However, a 2009 study found no association between the gene and intelligence.[3]

Mechanism

M2 muscarinic receptors act via a Gi type receptor, which causes a decrease in cAMP in the cell, generally leading to inhibitory-type effects.

In addition, they modulate muscarinic potassium channels.[4][5] In the heart, this contributes to a decreased heart rate.

Gene

Muscarinic acetylcholine receptor M2 is encoded by the gene CHRM2.[6]

Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described for this gene.[6]

Ligands

Few highly selective M2 agonists are available at present, although there are several non-selective muscarinic agonists that stimulate M2, and a number of selective M2 antagonists are available.

Agonists

  • Bethanechol (nonselective muscarinic agonist)
  • (2S,2'R,3'S,5'R)-1-methyl-2-(2-methyl-1,3-oxathiolan-5-yl)pyrrolidine 3-sulfoxide methyl iodide (selective for M2 but only partial agonist)[7]

Antagonists

  • Dimethindene - N,N-Dimethyl-3-[(1S)-1-(2-pyridinyl)ethyl]-1H-indene-2-ethanamine, CAS# 121367-05-3, mixed M2 / histamine H1 antagonist
  • Otenzepad - 11-([2-[(Diethylamino)methyl]-1-piperidinyl]acetyl)-5,11-dihydro-6H-pyrido[2,3-b][1,4]benzodiazepin-6-one, CAS# 102394-31-0
  • AQRA-741 - 11-([4-[4-(Diethylamino)butyl]-1-piperidinyl]acetyl)-5,11-dihydro-6H-pyrido[2,3-b][1,4]benzodiazepin-6-one, CAS# 123548-16-3
  • AFDX-384 (mixed M2/M4 antagonist) - N-[2-[2-[(Dipropylamino)methyl]-1-piperidinyl]ethyl]-5,6-dihydro-6-oxo-11H-pyrido[2,3-b][1,4]benzodiazepine-11-carboxamide, CAS# 118290-27-0
