The muscarinic acetylcholine receptor M₄, also known as the cholinergic receptor, muscarinic 4 (CHRM4), is a protein that, in humans, is encoded by the CHRM4 gene.^[4][5]

Function

M₄ muscarinic receptors are coupled to G_i/o heterotrimeric proteins.^[6]

They function as inhibitory autoreceptors for acetylcholine. Activation of M₄ receptors inhibits acetylcholine release in the striatum. The M₂ subtype of acetylcholine receptor functions similarly as an inhibitory autoreceptor to acetylcholine release, albeit functioning actively primarily in the hippocampus and cerebral cortex.

Muscarinic acetylcholine receptors possess a regulatory effect on dopaminergic neurotransmission. Activation of M₄ receptors in the striatum inhibit D₁-induced locomotor stimulation in mice. M₄ receptor-deficient mice exhibit increased locomotor simulation in response to D₁ agonists, amphetamine and cocaine.^[7][8][9] Neurotransmission in the striatum influences extrapyramidal motor control, thus alterations in M₄ activity may contribute to conditions such as Parkinson's Disease.^[10][11][12]
