The role of dimerisation in the cellular trafficking of G-protein-coupled receptors [PDF]

, 2010
The concept that G-protein-coupled receptors can exist as homomeric and/or heteromeric complexes is now well established. Despite this, how dynamic such interactions are and if this may be modulated during receptor trafficking remain topics of debate ...

Bile Acid Induced Diarrhoea Pathophysiological and Clinical Aspects [PDF]

, 2008
A common cause for referral to gastroenterologists is chronic watery diarrhoea. Approximately 40% of these patients have idiopathic bile acid malabsorption (BAM) – a condition with unknown aetiology.

Crosstalk between FXR and TGR5 controls glucagon-like peptide 1 secretion to maintain glycemic homeostasis

Laboratory Animal Research, 2018
Though bile acids have been well known as digestive juice, recent studies have demonstrated that bile acids bind to their endogenous receptors, including Farnesoid X receptor (FXR) and G protein-coupled bile acid receptor 1 (GPBAR1; TGR5) and serve as ...

Bile Acids Activated Receptors Regulate Innate Immunity

Frontiers in Immunology, 2018
Once known exclusively for their role in nutrients absorption, primary bile acids, chenodeoxycholic and cholic acid, and secondary bile acids, deoxycholic and lithocholic acid, are signaling molecules, generated from cholesterol breakdown by the ...

Effects of ursodeoxycholic acid on synthesis of cholesterol and bile acids in healthy subjects [PDF]

, 2004
Background/Aims: Ursodeoxycholic acid ( UDCA) decreases biliary secretion of cholesterol and is therefore used for the dissolution of cholesterol gallstones.

Bile acid receptors and renal regulation of water homeostasis

Frontiers in Physiology, 2023
The kidney is the key organ responsible for maintaining the body’s water and electrolyte homeostasis. About 99% of the primary urine filtered from the Bowman’s capsule is reabsorbed along various renal tubules every day, with only 1–2 L of urine excreted.

Prediction of Structure, Function, and Spectroscopic Properties of G-Protein-Coupled Receptors: Methods and Applications [PDF]

, 2004
G-protein-coupled receptors are of great pharmaceutical interest, comprising the majority of targets for currently marketed drugs. The theme of my thesis is the development of the structure prediction method, MembStruk, for the superfamily of G-protein ...

NPC1L1 Deficiency Suppresses Ileal Fibroblast Growth Factor 15 Expression and Increases Bile Acid Pool Size in High-Fat-Diet-Fed Mice

Cells, 2021
Niemann–Pick C1-like 1 (NPC1L1) mediates intestinal uptake of dietary and biliary cholesterol and is the target of ezetimibe, a cholesterol absorption inhibitor used to treat hypercholesterolemia.

Similarity between class A and class B G-protein-coupled receptors exemplified through calcitonin gene-related peptide receptor modelling and mutagenesis studies [PDF]

, 2012
Modelling class B G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) using class A GPCR structural templates is difficult due to lack of homology. The plant GPCR, GCR1, has homology to both class A and class B GPCRs. We have used this to generate a

Bile acids and their receptors in hepatic immunity

Liver Research
Similarly to conventional steroids, bile acids function as signaling molecules, acting on a family of membrane and nuclear receptors. The best-characterized bile acid-regulated receptors are the farnesoid X receptor, activated by primary bile acids, and ...
