The M2 muscarinic receptors (CHRM2) are expressed mainly in the heart but also in many other tissues. Here, they act to slow the heart rate down by slowing the speed of depolarization. CHRM2 act via a Gi signalling pathway, which causes a decrease in intracellular cAMP leading to inhibitory-type effects (Caulfield & Birdsall 1998). Inhibition of CHRM2 for example by atropine or hyoscyamine will cause a rise in heart rate (Bagshaw et al. 1970).
