GPR35 as a novel therapeutic target
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2011 G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) remain the best studied class of cell surface receptors and the most tractable family of proteins for novel small molecule drug discovery. Despite this, a considerable number of GPCRs remain poorly characterised and in

Mechanism and function of drosophila capa GPCR: a desiccation stress-responsive receptor with functional homology to human neuromedinU receptor [PDF]
, 2012 The capa peptide receptor, capaR (CG14575), is a G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) for the D. melanogaster capa neuropeptides, Drm-capa-1 and -2 (capa-1 and -2). To date, the capa peptide family constitutes the only known nitridergic peptides in insects,

Guanosine nucleotides regulate B2 kinin receptor affinity of agonists but not of antagonists: Discussion of a model proposing receptor precoupling to G protein [PDF]
, 2000 The effect of nucleotides on binding of the B2 kinin (BK) receptor agonist {[}H-3]BK and the antagonist {[}H-3]NPC17731 to particulate fractions of human foreskin fibroblasts was studied.

The cationic region of Rhes mediates its interactions with specific Gβ subunits [PDF]
, 2009 Ras homologue enriched in striatum (Rhes) is a small monomeric G protein which functions in a variety of cellular processes, including attenuation of G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR)signalling.

Expression and Role of Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone 2 and Its Receptor in Mammals
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2017 Gonadotropin-releasing hormone 1 (GnRH1) and its receptor (GnRHR1) drive mammalian reproduction via regulation of the gonadotropins. Yet, a second form of GnRH (GnRH2) and its receptor (GnRHR2) also exist in mammals.

Trafficking of G Protein–Coupled Receptors [PDF]
Circulation Research, 2006 G protein–coupled receptors (GPCRs) play an integral role in the signal transduction of an enormous array of biological phenomena, thereby serving to modulate at a molecular level almost all components of human biology. This role is nowhere more evident than in cardiovascular biology, where GPCRs regulate such core measures of cardiovascular function ...

G Protein–Coupled Receptor Rhodopsin [PDF]
Annual Review of Biochemistry, 2006 The rhodopsin crystal structure provides a structural basis for understanding the function of this and other G protein–coupled receptors (GPCRs). The major structural motifs observed for rhodopsin are expected to carry over to other GPCRs, and the mechanism of transformation of the receptor from inactive to active forms is thus likely conserved ...

An experimental comparison of classification algorithms for hierarchical prediction of protein function [PDF]
, 2007 Some data can be naturally organised as a hierarchy of classes. The classification of data in such a hierarchy poses some unique challenges to data miners. One particular case of this is the classification of GPCR proteins by their function.

An Olfactory Receptor Pseudogene whose Function emerged in Humans [PDF]
, 2007 Human olfactory receptor, hOR17-210, is identified as a pseudogene in the human genome. Experimental data has shown however, that the gene product of cloned hOR17-210 cDNA was able to bind an odorant-binding protein and is narrowly tuned for excitation ...
