Open itM2-receptorer decreases heartrate by the G beta gamma subunit of the G protein coupled to M 2 . This part of the G protein can open K + channels, which causes an outward current of potassium, which slows down the heart rate.Original toplevel document

Mechanism of action[edit]
<span>M 2 muscarinic receptors act via a G i type receptor, which causes a decrease in cAMP in the cell, generally leading to inhibitory-type effects. They appear to serve as autoreceptors. [10]
In addition, they modulate muscarinic potassium channels. [11] [12] In the heart, this contributes to a decreased heart rate. They do so by the G beta gamma subunit of the G protein coupled to M 2 . This part of the G protein can open K + channels in the parasympathetic notches in the heart, which causes an outward current of potassium, which slows down the heart rate.
Ligands[edit]
Few highly selective M 2 agonists are available at present, although there are several non-selective muscarinic agonists that stimulate M 2 , and a number of selectivSummary
