Sensor Approach for Drug Discovery for Human Adhesion GPCRs Stephanie Häfner Abstract "G Protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are common drug targets, yet no approved drugs exist for the Adhesion G Protein-coupled receptors The NRS fuses the extracellular region of any given aGPCR with a cleavage module from a Notch receptor in vivo by targeting the latrophilin-type aGPCR Cirl/ADGRL in Drosophila, revealing NTF release and receptor This tailored system aims to expedite the identification of drugs targeting the unique aGPCR receptor

By combining experimental data with theory on leukocyte chemotaxis guided by the G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) CCR7, we demonstrate that in addition to its role as the sensory receptor that steers migration Upon exposure to the CCR7 ligand CCL19, dendritic cells (DCs) effectively internalize the receptor and
