Functional Consequences of GPCR Heterodimerization: GPCRs as Allosteric Modulators [PDF]

Pharmaceuticals, 2011
G Protein Coupled Receptors (GPCRs) represent the largest family of membrane proteins in the human genome, are the targets of approximately 25% of all marketed pharmaceuticals, and the focus of intensive research worldwide given that this superfamily of receptors is as varied in function as it is ubiquitously expressed among all cell types.

The G protein-coupled receptor heterodimer network (GPCR-HetNet) and its hub components [PDF]

, 2014
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) oligomerization has emerged as a vital characteristic of receptor structure. Substantial experimental evidence supports the existence of GPCR-GPCR interactions in a coordinated and cooperative manner.

Platelet calcium signaling by G-protein coupled and ITAM-linked receptors regulating anoctamin-6 and procoagulant activity

Platelets, 2021
Most agonists stimulate platelet Ca2+ rises via G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) or ITAM-linked receptors (ILRs). Well studied are the GPCRs stimulated by the soluble agonists thrombin (PAR1, PAR4), ADP (P2Y1, P2Y12), and thromboxane A2 (TP ...

Precision-engineered Peptide and Protein Analogs: Establishing a New Discovery Platform for Potent GPCR Modulators

CHIMIA, 2021
Numerous members of the human G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) superfamily are receptors of therapeutic interest. GPCRs are considered to be highly tractable for drug discovery, representing the targets of approximately one-third of currently licensed ...

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.

Thermodynamics of GPCR activation [PDF]

Biophysics Reports, 2015
G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the largest family of signaling proteins that are responsible for information input from the extracellular environment. The plasma membrane in which GPCRs reside usually carries an electrostatic membrane potential (ΔΨ).

Deconvolution of complex G protein-coupled receptor signaling in live cells using dynamic mass redistribution measurements [PDF]

, 2010
Label-free biosensor technology based on dynamic mass redistribution (DMR) of cellular constituents promises to translate GPCR signaling into complex optical 'fingerprints' in real time in living cells.
