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 ...

Inhibition of Subsets of G Protein-coupled Receptors by Empty Mutants of G Protein α Subunits in Go, G11, and G16 [PDF]
, 2000 We previously reported that the xanthine nucleotide binding Goα mutant, GoαX, inhibited the activation of Gi-coupled receptors. We constructed similar mutations in G11α and G16α and characterized their nucleotide binding and receptor interaction.

On the hierarchical classification of G Protein-Coupled Receptors [PDF]
, 2007 Motivation: G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) play an important role in many physiological systems by transducing an extracellular signal into an intracellular response. Over 50% of all marketed drugs are targeted towards a GPCR.

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

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 ...

G PROTEIN–COUPLED RECEPTOR KINASES [PDF]
Annual Review of Biochemistry, 1998 G protein–coupled receptor kinases (GRKs) constitute a family of six mammalian serine/threonine protein kinases that phosphorylate agonist-bound, or activated, G protein–coupled receptors (GPCRs) as their primary substrates. GRK-mediated receptor phosphorylation rapidly initiates profound impairment of receptor signaling, or desensitization.

G-protein coupled receptor structure
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Biomembranes, 2007 Because of their central role in regulation of cellular function, structure/function relationships for G-protein coupled receptors (GPCR) are of vital importance, yet only recently have sufficient data been obtained to begin mapping those relationships. GPCRs regulate a wide range of cellular processes, including the senses of taste, smell, and vision,

Multiple endocytic pathways of G protein-coupled receptors delineated by GIT1 sensitivity. [PDF]
, 2000 Recently, we identified a GTPase-activating protein for the ADP ribosylation factor family of small GTP-binding proteins that we call GIT1. This protein initially was identified as an interacting partner for the G protein-coupled receptor kinases, and ...
