Endothelial APC/PAR1 distinctly regulates cytokine-induced pro-inflammatory VCAM-1 expression
Introduction: Dysfunction of the endothelium impairs its’ protective role and promotes inflammation and progression of vascular diseases. Activated Protein C (APC) elicits endothelial cytoprotective responses including barrier stabilization, anti ...

β2-adrenergic receptor promotes liver regeneration partially through crosstalk with c-met
The β2-adrenergic receptor (β2AR) is a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) that mediates the majority of cellular responses to external stimuli. Aberrant expression of β2AR results in various pathophysiological disorders, including tumorigenesis, but ...

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk shows a clear sexual dimorphism with age, with a lower incidence in young women compared to age-matched men. However, this protection is lost after menopause. We demonstrate that sex-biased sensitivity to the development

Homologous and Heterologous Phosphorylations of Human Histamine H1 Receptor in Intact Cells
Homologous and heterologous phosphorylations of histamine H1 receptor (H1R) in intact cells were investigated using Chinese hamster ovary cells stably co-expressing c-myctagged human histamine H1 and muscarinic M3 receptors. Increase in histamine-induced

Novel inhibitors of phosphorylation independent activity of GRK2 modulate cAMP signaling
G protein‐coupled receptors kinase 2 (GRK2) plays a major role in receptor regulation and, as a consequence, in cell biology and physiology. GRK2‐mediated receptor desensitization is performed by its kinase domain, which exerts receptor phosphorylation ...

Role of the Amino Terminus of G Protein-Coupled Receptor Kinase 2 in Receptor Phosphorylation [PDF]
G protein-coupled receptor kinases (GRKs) specifically phosphorylate activated G protein-coupled receptors. While the X-ray crystal structures of several GRKs have been determined, the mechanism of interaction of GRK with GPCRs is currently unknown. To further characterize the role of the GRK2 amino terminus in receptor interaction and phosphorylation,

The RAF Kinase Inhibitor Protein (RKIP): Good as Tumour Suppressor, Bad for the Heart
The RAF kinase inhibitor protein, RKIP, is a dual inhibitor of the RAF1 kinase and the G protein-coupled receptor kinase 2, GRK2. By inhibition of the RAF1-MAPK (mitogen-activated protein kinase) pathway, RKIP acts as a beneficial tumour suppressor.
