G-Protein-coupled receptors mediate many of the hypnotic and analgesic actions of the drugs employed in anesthesia. Notably, opioid agonists represent the most successful and efficacious class of analgesic agents employed over the last century. Also, major clinical advances have been made by the study of alpha(2) adrenoceptor agonists, which possess ...

Pharmacogenetics of the G Protein-Coupled Receptors
2014Pharmacogenetics investigates the influence of genetic variants on physiological phenotypes related to drug response and disease, while pharmacogenomics takes a genome-wide approach to advancing this knowledge. Both play an important role in identifying responders and nonresponders to medication, avoiding adverse drug reactions, and optimizing drug ...

When a G protein-coupled receptor does not couple to a G protein
Molecular BioSystems, 2007Classically, G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) relay signals by directly activating heterotrimeric guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins). Increasing evidence indicates that GPCRs may also signal through G protein-independent pathways. JAK/STATs, Src-family tyrosine kinases, GRKs/beta-arrestins, and PDZ domain-containing proteins have been ...

The diversity of the G protein-coupled receptor superfamily is now being realised with the molecular cloning of DNA encoding many new receptors and receptor subfamilies. The existing pharmacological definitions of receptor subtypes have been extended dramatically with identification of additional subtypes at the molecular level.

G Protein-Coupled Receptors and G Proteins
2000G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) form a large and functionally diverse superfamily of cell membrane receptors. Many signaling cascades use GPCRs to convert a large diversity of external and internal stimuli including photons, odorants, and ions as well as hormones and neurotransmitter agonists into intracellular responses.

G-protein-coupled receptors and cancer [PDF]
Nature Reviews Cancer, 2007 G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), the largest family of cell-surface molecules involved in signal transmission, have recently emerged as crucial players in tumour growth and metastasis. Malignant cells often hijack the normal physiological functions of GPCRs to survive, proliferate autonomously, evade the immune system, increase their blood supply ...

G Protein-Coupled Receptor Pharmacogenetics [PDF]
, 2008 Common G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) gene variants that encode receptor proteins with a distinct sequence may alter drug efficacy without always resulting in a disease phenotype. GPCR genetic loci harbor numerous variants, such as DNA insertions or deletions and single-nucleotide polymorphisms that alter GPCR expression and function, thereby ...

Dimerization of G-Protein-Coupled Receptors
Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, 2001The evolutionary trace (ET) method, a data mining approach for determining significant levels of amino acid conservation, has been applied to over 700 aligned G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) sequences. The method predicted the occurrence of functionally important clusters of residues on the external faces of helices 5 and 6 for each family or ...

G protein coupled receptors play an important role due to physiological and pathophysiological processes and are responsible for signal transduction in the cell. Furthermore, about 30 % of drugs, present on market, address G protein coupled receptors. First, the families for classification of G protein coupled receptors are presented.

G protein-coupled receptors in rheumatology
Nature Reviews Rheumatology, 2014G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are transmembrane receptor proteins that allow the transfer of signals across the cell membrane. In addition to their physiological role, GPCRs are involved in many pathophysiological processes including pathways relevant in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), osteoarthritis (OA) and psoriatic arthritis.
