Molecular Characterisation of Small Molecule Agonists Effect on the Human Glucagon Like Peptide-1 Receptor Internalisation [PDF]
The glucagon-like peptide receptor (GLP-1R), which is a G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR), signals through both Gαs and Gαq coupled pathways and ERK phosphorylation to stimulate insulin secretion.

Extracellular loops 2 and 3 of the calcitonin receptor selectively modify agonist binding and efficacy. [PDF]
Class B peptide hormone GPCRs are targets for the treatment of major chronic disease. Peptide ligands of these receptors display biased agonism and this may provide future therapeutic advantage.

Future Perspectives on GLP-1 Receptor Agonists and GLP-1/glucagon Receptor Co-agonists in the Treatment of NAFLD [PDF]
Along the obesity pandemic, the prevalence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), often regarded as the hepatic manifestation of the metabolic syndrome, increases worldwide representing now the prevalent liver disease in western countries. No pharmacotherapy is approved for the treatment of NAFLD and, currently, the cornerstone treatment is ...

The therapeutic potential of allosteric ligands for free fatty acid sensitive GPCRs [PDF]
G protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the most historically successful therapeutic targets. Despite this success there are many important aspects of GPCR pharmacology and function that have yet to be exploited to their full therapeutic potential.

Adverse effects of GLP – 1 Receptor Agonists
Introduction and purpose Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP – 1 RAs) are indicated in type 2 diabetes (T2D) and obesity because of their high efficacy in controlling blood glucose levels and inducing weight loss.

Activation of the GLP-1 receptor by a non-peptidic agonist [PDF]
Class B G-protein-coupled receptors are major targets for the treatment of chronic diseases, including diabetes and obesity1. Structures of active receptors reveal peptide agonists engage deep within the receptor core, leading to an outward movement of extracellular loop 3 and the tops of transmembrane helices 6 and 7, an inward movement of ...

Structure and dynamics of semaglutide- and taspoglutide-bound GLP-1R-Gs complexes
Summary: The glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) regulates insulin secretion, carbohydrate metabolism, and appetite and is an important target for treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity. Multiple GLP-1R agonists have entered into clinical trials,
