Carbachol (CCh) caused a dose-dependent release of β-hexosaminidase and an increase in the production of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) in RBL-2H3 cells transfected with m2 mAChR cDNA (RBL-m2 cells). The secretion was completely inhibited by LaCl3 and pertussis toxin. The secretion was dependent...
