Targeting G protein–coupled receptor kinases to G protein–coupled receptors
Current Opinion in Endocrine and Metabolic Research, 2021 G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) interact with three protein families following agonist binding: heterotrimeric G proteins, G protein-coupled receptor kinases (GRKs) and arrestins. GRK-mediated phosphorylation of GPCRs promotes arrestin binding to uncouple the receptor from G protein, a process called desensitization, and for many GPCRs, arrestin ...

Lysophospholipid G Protein-coupled Receptors [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2004 The many biological responses documented for lysophospholipids that include lysophosphatidic acid and sphingosine 1-phosphate can be mechanistically attributed to signaling through specific G protein-coupled receptors. At least nine receptors have now been identified, and the total number is likely to be larger.

G-Protein-Coupled Receptors [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1998 G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) constitute a huge family of membrane receptors to numerous hormones, neurotransmitters and diverse compounds. A large part of cardiovascular and neurological pharmacology is based upon the knowledge of these receptors and on the identification of molecules able to interfere with them, in an agonistic or antagonistic ...

Rules and mechanisms governing G protein coupling selectivity of GPCRs
Cell 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 Receptor Heteromers [PDF]
Annual 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.

Neuropeptide G Protein-Coupled Receptors as Oncotargets
Frontiers 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
