G Protein–Coupled Receptor Heteromers [PDF]

open access: yesAnnual Review of Pharmacology and Toxicology, 2016
G protein–coupled receptors (GPCRs) compose one of the largest families of membrane proteins involved in intracellular signaling. They are involved in numerous physiological and pathological processes and are prime candidates for drug development. Over the past decade, an increasing number of studies have reported heteromerization between GPCRs.

Rules and mechanisms governing G protein coupling selectivity of GPCRs

open access: yesCell Reports, 2023
Summary: G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) convert extracellular stimuli into intracellular signaling by coupling to heterotrimeric G proteins of four classes: Gi/o, Gq, Gs, and G12/13.

G Protein-Coupled Receptors: Undervalued Targets for Cancer Therapy

open access: yesIraqi Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2022
Despite the G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) being the largest family of signalling proteins at the surface of cells, their potential to be targeted in cancer therapy is still under-utilised.

Evolution of vertebrate GnRH receptors from the perspective of a basal vertebrate

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2012
This minireview provides the current status on gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptors (GnRH-R) in vertebrates, from the perspective of a basal vertebrate, the sea lamprey, and provides an evolutionary scheme based on the recent advance of whole genome ...

Neuropeptide G Protein-Coupled Receptors as Oncotargets

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2018
Neuropeptide G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are overexpressed on numerous cancer cells. In a number of tumors, such as small cell lung cancer (SCLC), bombesin (BB) like peptides and neurotensin (NTS) function as autocrine growth factors whereby they

G PROTEIN–COUPLED RECEPTOR KINASES [PDF]

open access: yesAnnual Review of Biochemistry, 1998
G protein–coupled receptor kinases (GRKs) constitute a family of six mammalian serine/threonine protein kinases that phosphorylate agonist-bound, or activated, G protein–coupled receptors (GPCRs) as their primary substrates. GRK-mediated receptor phosphorylation rapidly initiates profound impairment of receptor signaling, or desensitization.
