The Scientific World JOURNAL, 2007 Lipoxins (LXs) represent a class of arachidonic acid (AA) metabolites that carry potent immunoregulatory and anti-inflammatory properties, LXA4and LXB4being the main components of this series. LXs are generated by cooperation between 5-lipoxygenase (LO) and 12- or 15-LO during cell-cell interactions or by single cell types. LX epimers at carbon 15, the

Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology, 2010 Of the established Ca2+-mobilizing messengers, NAADP is arguably the most tantalizing. It is the most potent, often efficacious at low nanomolar concentrations, and its receptors undergo dramatic desensitization. Recent studies have identified a new class of calcium-release channel, the two-pore channels (TPCs), as the likely targets for NAADP ...

Receptors | Angiotensin Receptors
, 2021 The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAS) is a vital hormone-receptor system that regulates cardiovascular and renal functions. In this article, we discuss exciting new findings in the RAS field. Recently solved active state crystal structures of Angiotensin II type 1 (AT1R) and type 2 receptor (AT2R) helped in understanding receptor activation ...

Central Role of the EGF Receptor in Neurometabolic Aging
International Journal of Endocrinology, 2012 A strong connection between neuronal and metabolic health has been revealed in recent years. It appears that both normal and pathophysiological aging, as well as neurodegenerative disorders, are all profoundly influenced by this “neurometabolic ...

Cryo-EM structure of the human histamine H1 receptor/Gq complex
Nature Communications, 2021 Histamine receptors are effective targets for allergy treatments and antihistamines are the first choice of many allergic disorders, but the exact mechanism of agonist binding and receptor activation remain unknown.

D3PM: a comprehensive database for protein motions ranging from residue to domain
BMC Bioinformatics, 2022 Background Knowledge of protein motions is significant to understand its functions. While currently available databases for protein motions are mostly focused on overall domain motions, little attention is paid on local residue motions.
