Antibodies to the Muscarinic Acetylcholine Receptor M3 in Primary Biliary Cholangitis Inhibit Receptor Function on Cholangiocytes
Background and Aims: In primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), antibodies to a peptide of the muscarinic acetylcholine receptor 3 (mAChR3) have been described. Since the mAChR3 is expressed on cholangiocytes and mAChR3-signaling is involved in the pathogenesis of chronic inflammatory biliary diseases, w...
