Function
The muscarinic acetylcholine receptor mediates various cellular responses, including inhibition of adenylate cyclase, breakdown of phosphoinositides and modulation of potassium channels through the action of G proteins (PubMed:11032868, PubMed:11700045). Primary transducing effect is Pi turnover (By similarity). Regulates the activity of ventral cord motor neurons (PubMed:18614679). Couples to the G(o) alpha G-protein subunit goa-1 to negatively regulate cholinergic receptor activity in the presence of high levels of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine in ventral cord motor neurons (PubMed:18614679). As acetylcholine depolarizes body wall muscles, modulation of acetylcholine levels most likely results in the control locomotory behavior and egg-laying (PubMed:12954868, PubMed:18614679).
