Protein Function
t-SNARE involved in the molecular regulation of neurotransmitter release. May play an important role in the synaptic function of specific neuronal systems. Associates with proteins involved in vesicle docking and membrane fusion. Regulates plasma membrane recycling through its interaction with CENPF. Modulates the gating characteristics of the delayed rectifier voltage-dependent potassium channel KCNB1 in pancreatic beta cells.

      Key Mechanism Factor 2
Factor Name Muscarinic acetylcholine receptor M Structure Sequence
Protein Family G-protein coupled receptor 1 family
Protein Function
The muscarinic acetylcholine receptor mediates various cellular responses, including inhibition of adenylate cyclase, breakdown of phosphoinositides and modulation of potassium channels through the action of G proteins. Primary transducing effect is Pi turnover.

      Mechanism Description
  • Additive anticholinergic effects by the combination of Botulinum toxin type A and Pimozide 

Recommended Action
      Management Patients should be advised that systemic anticholinergic side effects such as dry mouth, blurred vision, and urinary disorders may increase if agents with anticholinergic properties (e.g., sedating antihistamines antispasmodics neuroleptics phenothiazines skeletal muscle relaxants tricyclic antidepressants disopyramide) are used after administration of botulinum toxin.
