G protein-coupled receptors and obesity [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2023
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) have emerged as important drug targets for various chronic diseases, including obesity and diabetes. Obesity is a complex chronic disease that requires long term management predisposing to type 2 diabetes, heart ...

G Protein-Coupled Receptors in Osteoarthritis [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2022
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

Functional optimization of light-activatable Opto-GPCRs: Illuminating the importance of the proximal C-terminus in G-protein specificity [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2023
Introduction: G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the largest family of human receptors that transmit signals from natural ligands and pharmaceutical drugs into essentially every physiological process.

G Protein-Coupled Receptor Kinases Take Central Stage [PDF]

open access: yesCells, 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) [...]

Peptide ligand recognition by G protein-coupled receptors [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2015
The past few years have seen spectacular progress in the structure determination of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). We now have structural representatives from classes A, B, C, and F.

Hemorphins Targeting G Protein-Coupled Receptors

open access: yesPharmaceuticals, 2021
Hemorphins are short peptides produced by the proteolysis of the beta subunit of hemoglobin. These peptides have diverse physiological effects especially in the nervous and the renin-angiotensin systems.

G Protein–Coupled Receptor Heteromers [PDF]

open access: yesAnnual Review of Pharmacology and Toxicology, 2016
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.
