Rules and mechanisms governing G protein coupling selectivity of GPCRs
Cell Reports, 2023 Summary: G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) convert extracellular stimuli into intracellular signaling by coupling to heterotrimeric G proteins of four classes: Gi/o, Gq, Gs, and G12/13.

G Protein–Coupled Receptor Deorphanizations [PDF]
Annual Review of Pharmacology and Toxicology, 2013 G protein–coupled receptors (GPCRs) are major regulators of intercellular interactions. They initiate these actions by being activated by a wide variety of natural ligands. Historically, ligands were discovered first, but the advent of molecular biology reversed this trend.

G Protein-Coupled Receptors: Undervalued Targets for Cancer Therapy
Iraqi Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2022 Despite the G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) being the largest family of signalling proteins at the surface of cells, their potential to be targeted in cancer therapy is still under-utilised.

G-Protein-Coupled Receptors [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1998 G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) constitute a huge family of membrane receptors to numerous hormones, neurotransmitters and diverse compounds. A large part of cardiovascular and neurological pharmacology is based upon the knowledge of these receptors and on the identification of molecules able to interfere with them, in an agonistic or antagonistic ...

Evolution of vertebrate GnRH receptors from the perspective of a basal vertebrate
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2012 This minireview provides the current status on gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptors (GnRH-R) in vertebrates, from the perspective of a basal vertebrate, the sea lamprey, and provides an evolutionary scheme based on the recent advance of whole genome ...

Neuropeptide G Protein-Coupled Receptors as Oncotargets
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2018 Neuropeptide G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are overexpressed on numerous cancer cells. In a number of tumors, such as small cell lung cancer (SCLC), bombesin (BB) like peptides and neurotensin (NTS) function as autocrine growth factors whereby they

Powdered G-Protein-Coupled Receptors [PDF]
The Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters, 2016 Preparation and storage of functional membrane proteins such as G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are crucial to the processes of drug delivery and discovery. Here, we describe a method of preparing powdered GPCRs using rhodopsin as the prototype. We purified rhodopsin in CHAPS detergent with low detergent to protein ratio so the bulk of the sample ...

Role of G-protein coupled receptors in cardiovascular diseases
Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2023 Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of death globally, with CVDs accounting for nearly 30% of deaths worldwide each year. G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the most prominent family of receptors on the cell surface, and play an ...
