β-Arrestin-Mediated Signaling Improves the Efficacy of Therapeutics
Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2012 β-Arrestins (β-arrestin-1 and β-arrestin-2) were first identified as proteins that have the ability to desensitize G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). However, it has recently been found that β-arrestins can activate signaling pathways independent of G ...

Distinct phosphorylation clusters determines the signalling outcome of the free fatty acid receptor FFA4/GPR120 [PDF]
, 2016 It is established that long-chain free fatty acids including ω-3 fatty acids mediate an array of biological responses through members of the free fatty acid receptor family, which includes FFA4.

, 2013 Programmed cell death (apoptosis) is a coordinated set of events eventually leading to the massive activation of specialized proteases (caspases) that cleave numerous substrates, orchestrating fairly uniform biochemical changes than culminate in cellular suicide. Apoptosis can be triggered by a variety of stimuli, from external signals or growth factor

Insulin Action under Arrestin [PDF]
Cell Metabolism, 2009 Insulin signaling is key to the etiology of metabolic syndrome. Recent work (Luan et al., 2009) uncovers a role for beta-arrestin, previously known to control GPCR desensitization, in insulin signaling. In mouse models, beta-arrestin-2 controls whole-body insulin action by regulating assembly of a complex containing insulin receptor, c-Src, and Akt.

DEER Analysis of GPCR Conformational Heterogeneity
Biomolecules, 2021 G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) represent a large class of transmembrane helical proteins which are involved in numerous physiological signaling pathways and therefore represent crucial pharmacological targets.

Orexin-Corticotropin-Releasing Factor Receptor Heteromers in the Ventral Tegmental Area as Targets for Cocaine [PDF]
, 2015 Release of the neuropeptides corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) and orexin-A in the ventral tegmental area (VTA) play an important role in stress-induced cocaine-seeking behavior.

β‐arrestin‐biased ACKR3 Promotes Gαi:β‐arrestin Complex Formation
The FASEB Journal, 2021 Atypical chemokine receptor 3 (ACKR3)—previously known as CXC‐chemokine receptor 7 (CXCR7)—is involved in a wide range of physiological processes including angiogenesis, neuronal development, and tumorigenesis. As a β‐arrestin biased G protein‐coupled receptor (GPCR), ACKR3 recruits β‐arrestin, but lacks G protein activity.

β-Arrestin-dependent deactivation of mouse melanopsin.
PLoS ONE, 2014 In mammals, the expression of the unusual visual pigment, melanopsin, is restricted to a small subset of intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs), whose signaling regulate numerous non-visual functions including sleep, circadian ...
