AarI B-C part, M3/M2 chimera

M3/M2 chimera DREADD flanked by AarI BC sites.

Usage and Biology

This M3/M2 chimeric receptor consists of the human M3 muscarinic receptor with the i3 loop from M2 muscarinic receptor. This is an engineered version of the GPCR that can be activated by the otherwise inert small molecule, clozapine-N-oxide.
