- The Gluopsins: Opsins without the Retinal Binding Lysine
The lysine is so conserved that it is used to define a sequence as an opsin and thus phylogenetic opsin Thus, we call them gluopsins.
- Structural perspectives on the mechanism of signal activation, ligand selectivity and allosteric...
Thus, we need to know much more about the structures of receptor-ligand complexes at high resolution. Constituent structural motifs cooperatively transform ligand selectivity into specific functions, thus
- Pharmacological Properties and Function of PxOctβ3 Octopamine Receptor in Plutella xylostella (L.)
Thus, we investigated the regulatory functions of its β-adrenergic-like octopamine receptor (PxOctβ3) This study demonstrated the pharmacological properties and functions of PxOctβ3 in P. xylostella, thus
- The Impact of CB1 Receptor on Nuclear Receptors in Skeletal Muscle Cells
protein has been recognized within myotubes and tissues of skeletal muscle from both murines and humans, thus Thus, the aim of the current research was to explore the influence of CB1 receptor stimulation and inhibition Thus, in skeletal muscle cells, a possible physiological expression of CB1 receptors was identified.
- Cell Surface Calcium-Sensing Receptor Heterodimers: Mutant Gene Dosage Affects Ca 2+ Sensing but...
It plays a key role in the regulation of human calcium and thus mineral metabolism. Thus two WT VFT domains were required for normal Ca2+o potency and there was a pronounced gene-dosage
- GPCRs Are Optimal Regulators of Complex Biological Systems and Orchestrate the Interface between ...
pivotal role in the regulation of the physiological balance between healthy and pathological conditions; thus associated with disease-associated changes in organismal tissue complexity and compartmentalization, thus
- Lysosomal GPCR-like protein LYCHOS signals cholesterol sufficiency to mTORC1
Thus, LYCHOS functions in a lysosomal pathway for cholesterol sensing and couples cholesterol concentrations
- Activation of the human chemokine receptor CX3CR1 regulated by cholesterol
Thus, our data deepen the understanding of cholesterol modulation in GPCR (G protein-coupled receptor
- Isoform-and ligand-specific modulation of adhesion GPCR ADGRL3/Latrophilin3 by a synthetic binder
concept for the modulation of isoform- and ligand specific aGPCR functions using unique tools, and thus
- Dopamine activates astrocytes in prefrontal cortex via α1-adrenergic receptors
Thus, we identify astrocytes as active players in dopaminergic signaling in the PFC, contributing to
- Primary cilia and SHH signaling impairments in human and mouse models of Parkinson’s disease
Thus, increased SHH activity due to ciliary dysfunction may be required for the development of pathoetiological
- C3aR plays both sides in regulating resistance to bacterial infections
Thus, this review will cover specific roles of C3aR in driving cell type–specific and tissue specific
- The microglial endocannabinoid system similarly regulated by lipopolysaccharide and interferon gamma
Thus, we systematically investigated the relationship between the concentration of two distinct pro-inflammatory
- Fluorescent Ligands Targeting Intracellular Allosteric Binding Site of the Chemokine Receptor CCR2
By means of these studies, we developed 14 as a fluorescent CCR2 ligand, enabling cell-free as well as Thus, our small-molecule-based fluorescent CCR2 ligand 14 represents a promising tool for future studies
- G-protein-coupled receptors as therapeutic targets for glioblastoma
remains poor, with an impacted quality of life during treatment coupled with brain tumour recurrence; thus
- N-Acyl Amides from Neisseria meningitidis and Their Role in Sphingosine Receptor Signaling
However, only a small fraction of these metabolites has been identified from the human microbiota thus
- Deciphering the signaling mechanisms of β-arrestin1 and β-arrestin2 in regulation of cancer cell...
scaffolding of numerous cytoplasmic signaling complexes and assist in G-protein receptor signaling, thus
- Deciphering the signaling mechanisms of β-arrestin1 and β-arrestin2 in regulation of cancer cell...
scaffolding of numerous cytoplasmic signaling complexes and assist in G-protein receptor signaling, thus
- Bursicon receptor gene HLGR2 as a potential RNA interference target for control of the fall ...
RNAi led to a low pupation rate (45.00%), body malformation, abnormal wing expansion, failed cuticle melanization
- Combined docking and machine learning identify key molecular determinants of ligand pharmacological
relationship that identifies small changes to the ligands that invert their pharmacological activity and thus
- GPCR voltage dependence controls neuronal plasticity and behavior
Thus, this study suggests that GPCR voltage dependency plays a role in many diverse neuronal functions
- GRK2 in cardiovascular disease and its potential as a therapeutic target
Thus, identifying novel molecular targets for developing HF therapeutics remains a key research focus
- The development of modulators for lysophosphatidic acid receptors: A comprehensive review
While no drugs targeting LPARs have been approved by the FDA thus far, at least three antagonists have
- Use of CRISPR/Cas9-edited HEK293 cells reveals that both conventional and novel protein kinase C...
