Abstract

Muscarinic receptors depress Ca2+ currents in superior cervical ganglion neurons by two signaling pathways. One is sensitive to pertussis toxin and acts rapidly by a membrane-delimited pathway on the channels. The other is not sensitive to pertussis toxin and acts more slowly through an unknown second messenger. These pathways are shared with several other agonists.
