As of 2026-09-13

Muscarinic acetylcholine receptor M2 shows approved-linked disease relevance led by overactive bladder. 5 more disease programs remain visible in the same review block. 8 linked drugs keep the current disease frame grounded. Protein identity stays anchored to UniProt P08172. Start with overactive bladder, then reuse UniProt P08172 as the stable protein anchor across project notes and exports.

Disease program
overactive bladder

Muscarinic acetylcholine receptor M2 shows approved-linked disease relevance led by overactive bladder. 5 more disease programs remain visible in the same review block. 8 linked drugs remain visible in the same block.

Start review with overactive bladder because it currently carries approved-linked support. Linked drugs include DARIFENACIN HYDROBROMIDE, FESOTERODINE FUMARATE, OXYBUTYNIN, OXYBUTYNIN CHLORIDE. This disease block keeps the Open Targets-ready contract explicit while current evidence comes from ChEMBL mechanism and indication mappings.
