This is not a G protein-coupled receptor
Trends in Pharmacological Sciences, 1993On his canvas entitled 'La trahison des Images' ('The Perfidy of Images'), René Magritte painted a tobacco pipe in a very realistic manner and added the words: 'Ceci n'est pas une pipe' ('This is not a pipe'). In similar style, it is of prime importance to state that the first three-dimensional (3D) models of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) that ...

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 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 ...

When a G protein-coupled receptor does not couple to a G protein
Molecular BioSystems, 2007Abstract Classically, 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.

G Protein-Coupled Receptors in Cancer [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2016 Despite the fact that G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the largest signal-conveying receptor family and mediate many physiological processes, their role in tumor biology is underappreciated. Numerous lines of evidence now associate GPCRs and their downstream signaling targets in cancer growth and development.

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 ...

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.

G Protein-Coupled Receptor Pharmacogenetics
2008Common 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 ...

G‐Protein–Coupled Receptor Deorphanizations
2005G protein–coupled receptors (GPCRs) are major regulators of intercellular interactions. They initiate these actions by being activated by a wide variety of natural ligands. Historically, ligands were discovered first, but the advent of molecular biology reversed this trend.

Ubiquitination of G-Protein-Coupled Receptors
2004In this chapter we describe methods for detecting the ubiquitination state of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). This involves coexpression of a GPCR with an epitope-tagged ubiquitin construct in a heterologous expression system. Modification by ubiquitin of the GPCR resulting from agonist activation is detected by immunoprecipation and subsequent ...
