Cytokine responses of intraepithelial lymphocytes are regulated by histamine H2 receptor [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Backgrounds. Histamine participates in the immune regulation of several gastrointestinal diseases. However, the effect of histamine on intestinal intraepithelial lymphocytes (IELs), the front line of intestinal mucosal immune system, is not well ...

ERNEST COST action overview on the (patho)physiology of GPCRs and orphan GPCRs in the nervous system

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) are a large family of cell surface receptors that play a critical role in nervous system function by transmitting signals between cells and their environment. They are involved in many, if not all, nervous system processes, and their dysfunction has been linked to various neurological disorders representing important

Effect of the Fexofenadine on the expression of HRH-1 and HRH-4 receptor in Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cell isolated from children with diagnosed allergy – in vitro study Short communication

open access: yesJournal of Pharmacy & Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2019
Purpose: Fexofenadine (FXF) is the active metabolite of terfenadine with selective peripheral H1 receptor antagonist activity. FXF is a third-generation antihistamine, non-sedating, rapid and very long acting used in symptoms associated with allergic ...

The impact of high density receptor clusters on VEGF signaling [PDF]

open access: yesEPTCS 125, 2013, pp. 37-52, 2013
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) signaling is involved in the process of blood vessel development and maintenance. Signaling is initiated by binding of the bivalent VEGF ligand to the membrane-bound receptors (VEGFR), which in turn stimulates receptor dimerization.

Association of genetic variants of the histamine H1 and muscarinic M3 receptors with BMI and HbA1c values in patients on antipsychotic medication [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Rationale: Antipsychotic affinity for the histamine H1 receptor and the muscarinic M3 receptor have been associated with the side effects weight gain, and development of diabetes, respectively.

Progress on the development of Class A GPCR‐biased ligands

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Class A G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) continue to garner interest for their essential roles in cell signalling and their importance as drug targets. Although numerous drugs in the clinic target these receptors, over 60% GPCRs remain unexploited. Moreover, the adverse effects triggered by the available unbiased GPCR modulators, limit their use and

In vitro H1-receptor antagonist activity of methanolic extract of tuber of Stephania glabra

open access: yesBangladesh Journal of Pharmacology, 2011
In the present study, methanolic extract of tuber of Stephania glabra was evaluated for H1-bloker activity by employing in vitro screening models of guinea pig ileum and goat tracheal chain preparation.

Histaminergic H3-Heteroreceptors as a Potential Mediator of Betahistine-Induced Increase in Cochlear Blood Flow [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
OBJECTIVE Betahistine is a histamine-like drug that is considered beneficial in Ménière's disease by increasing cochlear blood flow. Acting as an agonist at the histamine H1-receptor and as an inverse agonist at the H3-receptor, these receptors as well ...

A Thermodynamic Model for Receptor Clustering [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
Intracellular signaling often arises from ligand-induced oligomerization of cell surface receptors. This oligomerization or clustering process is fundamentally a cooperative behavior between near-neighbor receptor molecules; the properties of this cooperative process clearly affects the signal transduction.

High- and low-conductance NMDA receptors are present in layer 4 spiny stellate and layer 2/3 pyramidal neurons of mouse barrel cortex [PDF]

open access: yesPhysiological Reports, 30th Dec. 2016, Vol. 4 no. e13051, 2016
NMDA receptors are ion channels activated by the neurotransmitter glutamate in the mammalian brain and are important in synaptic function and plasticity, but are also found in extrasynaptic locations and influence neuronal excitability. There are different NMDA receptor subtypes which differ in their single-channel conductance.
