Free fatty acid receptor 1 stimulates cAMP production and gut hormone secretion through Gq-mediated activation of adenylate cyclase 2

Molecular Metabolism, 2023
Objective: Free fatty acid receptor 1 (FFAR1) is highly expressed in enteroendocrine cells of the small intestine and pancreatic beta cells, where FFAR1 agonists function as GLP-1 and insulin secretagogues, respectively.

Formoterol versus short-acting beta-agonists as relief medication for adults and children with asthma [PDF]

, 2010
Background Formoterol is a long-acting beta(2)-agonist but because it has a fast onset of action it can also be used as a relief medication. Objectives To asses the efficacy and safety of formoterol as reliever therapy in comparison to short-acting ...

Intracellular cAMP Signaling Pathway via G_s Protein-Coupled Receptor Activation in Rat Primary Cultured Trigeminal Ganglion Cells

Biomedicines, 2023
G protein-coupled receptors in trigeminal ganglion (TG) neurons are often associated with sensory mechanisms, including nociception. We have previously reported the expression of P2Y12 receptors, which are Gi protein-coupled receptors, in TG cells ...

Biochemical pharmacology of the positive allosteric modulation of the GABAb receptor "in Vitro" and "in Vivo" [PDF]

, 2007
Allosteric modulators of G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) interact with binding sites on the receptor molecule that are topographically distinct from the classic orthosteric site.

Mechanisms of adrenocorticotropin-induced activation of erk 1/2 map kinase in the human H295R adrenal cell line [PDF]

, 2008
PhDThe role of ACTH in stimulating or inhibiting growth of adrenal cells has been a subject of some controversy. Reports that ACTH may stimulate Erk/MAP kinase in Y1 cells have suggested a role for cAMP in this process.
