ABSTRACT Somatostatin receptors (SSTR) mediate the antiproliferative, antisecretory, and proapoptotic effects of somatostatin and its synthetic analogs. Their surface expression on neuroendocrine tumor (NET) cells is required for somatostatin analog therapy and radiopharmaceutical therapy (RPT).

Renin‐Angiotensin Signaling and Vascular Function: Insights into Health and Disease
ABSTRACT The renin‐angiotensin system (RAS) is an essential regulator of vascular structure and function, and dysregulation of angiotensin II (Ang II) signaling plays a critical role in the development of hypertension and associated vascular complications.

Knockdown of β-arrestin-2, but not β-arrestin-1, inhibits agonist-induced C3aR internalization.
(A) shRNA control HMC-1 cells (B) β-arrestin-1 KD and (C) β-arrestin-2 KD cells were exposed to buffer (−C3a) or C3a (100 nM) for 5 min. Cells were washed with ice-cold FACS buffer, incubated with a mouse anti-C3aR antibody or an isotype control antibody

Mechanisms of XCR1 Membrane Trafficking and Constitutive Endocytosis
ABSTRACT Chemokines orchestrate immune cell trafficking through receptor‐mediated signalling and are implicated in inflammatory, autoimmune and neuropathic disorders. The XCL1–XCR1 axis is of particular interest because XCR1 is selectively expressed on mature conventional type 1 dendritic cells (cDC1s), where it supports communication with activated ...

Arrestin - heterologe Expression, Mutagenese und biophysikalische Untersuchungen [PDF]
Arrestin is a critical component in the deactivation and regulation of the light-induced signal cascade. After phosphorylation of the light activated rhodopsin by a rhodopsin kinase (P-R *), arrestin is able to bind and thereby to inhibit the interaction

In squid (Loligo pealei), activation of phototransduction is mediated by rhodopsin isomerization to metarhodopsin and the activation of a phospholipase C pathway, resulting in depolarization of the retinal membrane.

β-Arrestin-1 expression and epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition in laryngeal carcinoma
Aim: The novel primary end-point of the present study was to ascertain β-arrestin-1 expression in a cohort of consecutive patients with laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) with information available on their cigarette-smoking habits. A secondary end-

Arrestins in Host–Pathogen Interactions
In the context of host-pathogen interaction, host cell receptors and signaling pathways are essential for both invading pathogens, which exploit them for their own profit, and the defending organism, which activates early mechanism of defense, known as innate immunity, to block the aggression.

Durch einen strukturbasierten Designansatz wurden photoschaltbare Derivate des von der FDA zugelassenen Arzneistoffes Suvorexant entwickelt, gedockt, synthetisiert und pharmakologisch an den Orexin‐1‐ und 2‐Rezeptoren (OX1R und OX2R) charakterisiert.

Following a structure‐based design approach, photoswitchable derivatives of the FDA‐approved drug suvorexant were designed, docked, synthesized, and characterized pharmacologically at the orexin 1 and 2 receptors (OX1R and OX2R). Optimized “photorexant” showed up to an 11‐fold difference in IC50 between photoisomers, enabled dynamic and reversible ...
