Fatty acylated dipeptides homologous to Giα N-termini affect ligand binding to muscarinic acetylcholine receptors. Myristylglycine-serine containing dipeptides decrease antagonist binding at both M1 and M2 muscarinic receptors. Palmitate on the serine analogous to native palmitoylated cysteine affords dipeptide which selectively decreases the number of high affinity agonist binding sites at M2 but not M1 receptor.
