Antagonist Comments
Recombinant MT7 (rMT7) is often used for bioassays due to the limited availability of the M1 muscarinic receptor-selective mamba toxin MT7 or m1-toxin 1 (rMT7 has comparable affinity for M1 [96]).

Biperiden is an approved drug antagonist of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors. We have tagged the M1 subtype as the drug's primary target as affinity is 10-fold higher at this receptor subtype [11]. Ethopropazine appears to have highest affinity for the M1 subtype in rat brain homegenates [19], so the M1 receptor is the likely primary human target of this drug.
