Differential Signaling Profiles of MC4R Mutations with Three Different Ligands [PDF]
, 2020 The melanocortin 4 receptor (MC4R) is a key player in hypothalamic weight regulation and energy expenditure as part of the leptin-melanocortin pathway. Mutations in this G protein coupled receptor (GPCR) are the most common cause for monogenetic obesity,

Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2022 Ethanolamine-containing alkenyl ether glycerophospholipids, plasmalogens, are major cell membrane components of mammalian cells that activate membrane protein receptors such as ion transporters and G-protein coupled receptors.

GPER agonist G-1 decreases adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) cell growth in vitro and in vivo [PDF]
, 2015 We have previously demonstrated that estrogen receptor (ER) alpha (ESR1) increases proliferation of adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) through both an estrogen-dependent and -independent (induced by IGF-II/IGF1R pathways) manner.

G protein receptor kinase type 2: A novel target in cardiovascular drug development [PDF]
Hospital Pharmacology, 2014 In spite of significant advancement in pharmacotherapy, heart failure remains one of the main causes of death worldwide. The existing treatment of heart failure prolongs life span by slowing down the pathological process but does not induce heart healing.

G Protein-Coupled Receptor Kinases Take Central Stage
Cells, 2022 The relevance of the family of G protein-coupled receptor kinases (GRKs) is based on its key participation in the regulation and intracellular dynamics of the largest family of membrane receptors, namely G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) [...]

Comparison of MEK/ERK pathway inhibitors on the upregulation of vascular G-protein coupled receptors in rat cerebral arteries [PDF]
, 2010 Organ culture is an in vitro method for investigating cellular mechanisms involved in upregulation of vasocontractile G-protein coupled receptors. We hypothesize that mitogen-activated-protein kinase (MEK) and/or extracellular-signal-regulated kinase ...

G-protein-coupled receptor kinases
Trends in Biochemical Sciences, 1991 Rhodopsin kinase and the beta-adrenergic receptor kinase (beta ARK) catalyse the phosphorylation of the activated forms of the G-protein-coupled receptors, rhodopsin and the beta 2-adrenergic receptor (beta 2AR), respectively. The interaction between receptor and kinase is independent of second messengers and appears to involve a multipoint attachment ...

Structural and Functional Analysis of a β2-Adrenergic Receptor Complex with GRK5. [PDF]
, 2017 The phosphorylation of agonist-occupied G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) by GPCR kinases (GRKs) functions to turn off G-protein signaling and turn on arrestin-mediated signaling.

G-protein-coupled receptor kinases
Kidney International, 1996 beta-Adrenergic receptors are prototypes of the many G-protein-coupled receptors. Activation and inactivation of these receptors are regulated by multiple mechanisms which can affect either their function or their expression. The most obvious changes of such receptor systems are induced by activation of the receptors themselves by their respective ...
