G-protein-coupled receptors and cancer [PDF]

open access: possibleNature Reviews Cancer, 2007
G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), the largest family of cell-surface molecules involved in signal transmission, have recently emerged as crucial players in tumour growth and metastasis. Malignant cells often hijack the normal physiological functions of GPCRs to survive, proliferate autonomously, evade the immune system, increase their blood supply ...

This is not a G protein-coupled receptor

Trends in Pharmacological Sciences, 1993
On his canvas entitled 'La trahison des Images' ('The Perfidy of Images'), René Magritte painted a tobacco pipe in a very realistic manner and added the words: 'Ceci n'est pas une pipe' ('This is not a pipe'). In similar style, it is of prime importance to state that the first three-dimensional (3D) models of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) that ...

The G-protein-coupled receptors in the human genome form five main families. Phylogenetic analysis, paralogon groups, and fingerprints.

Molecular Pharmacology, 2003
The superfamily of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) is very diverse in structure and function and its members are among the most pursued targets for drug development.

G-Protein-Coupled Receptors

2008
G-Protein-coupled receptors mediate many of the hypnotic and analgesic actions of the drugs employed in anesthesia. Notably, opioid agonists represent the most successful and efficacious class of analgesic agents employed over the last century. Also, major clinical advances have been made by the study of alpha(2) adrenoceptor agonists, which possess ...

G protein-coupled receptors

Current Biology, 1992
The diversity of the G protein-coupled receptor superfamily is now being realised with the molecular cloning of DNA encoding many new receptors and receptor subfamilies. The existing pharmacological definitions of receptor subtypes have been extended dramatically with identification of additional subtypes at the molecular level.
