CHRM4

CHR 4, or muscarinic acetylcholine receptor 4 (CHRM4), is a G protein-coupled receptor integral to the regulation of various physiological processes. Encoded by the CHRM4 gene, this receptor is influential in the central nervous system, heart, and smooth muscle. It modulates cellular signaling upon binding with acetylcholine, impacting cardiac function, neurotransmission, and muscle activity. CHRM4's dysfunction has been linked to several neuropsychiatric disorders, positioning it as a promising target for drug development, particularly for cognitive and emotional disorders.
