Regional M receptor distribution and the mechanism of atropine action via M receptor binding. ECM, extracellular matrix

Caption

The schematic mechanism underlying atropine's post-binding effects for myopia control is shown . Besides mAChR, atropine has been shown to bind to and modulate various non-muscarinic receptor targets, including dopamine (DA) and adrenergic receptors.
