G Protein-Coupled Receptors in Osteoarthritis [PDF]
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common chronic joint disease characterized, for which there are no available therapies being able to modify the progression of OA and prevent long-term disability. Critical roles of G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) have been established in OA cartilage degeneration, subchondral bone sclerosis and chronic pain. In this

Targeting G protein–coupled receptor kinases to G protein–coupled receptors
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 ...

G Protein–Coupled Receptor Heteromers [PDF]
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.

G Protein-Coupled Receptors in Cancer [PDF]
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.

A G-Protein Coupled Receptor and Macular Degeneration
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a leading cause of irreversible blindness in the world. The risk of AMD increases with age and is most common among the white population. Here, we discuss the convergence of factors related to race, pigmentation,

Gi- and Gs-coupled GPCRs show different modes of G-protein binding. [PDF]
More than two decades ago, the activation mechanism for the membrane-bound photoreceptor and prototypical G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) rhodopsin was uncovered.

REGA-SIGN: Development of a Novel Set of NanoBRET-Based G Protein Biosensors
Despite G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) being important theapeutic targets, the signaling properties of many GPCRs remain poorly characterized. GPCR activation primarily initiates heterotrimeric G protein signaling. To detect ligand-induced G protein

Regulation Role of Non-Rhodopsin G Protein-coupled Receptor Kinases on Tumor
G protein-coupled receptor kinases (GRKs) are involved in a wide range of cellular physiology and pathological activities by specifically phosphorylating activated G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) to terminate GPCR signaling and phosphorylating non ...
