G Protein-Coupled Receptors in Osteoarthritis [PDF]

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2022
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common chronic joint disease characterized, for which there are no available therapies being able to modify the progression of OA and prevent long-term disability. Critical roles of G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) have

Mas-Related G-Protein-Coupled Receptors: Emerging Roles in Neuropathic Pain [PDF]

Biomolecules
Mas-related G-protein-coupled receptors constitute a distinct family of GPCRs expressed in some subsets of sensory neurons and immune cells. Increasing evidence highlights their contribution to the modulation of nociceptive signaling and neuroimmune ...

Hemorphins Targeting G Protein-Coupled Receptors

Pharmaceuticals, 2021
Hemorphins are short peptides produced by the proteolysis of the beta subunit of hemoglobin. These peptides have diverse physiological effects especially in the nervous and the renin-angiotensin systems.

Rules and mechanisms governing G protein coupling selectivity of GPCRs

Cell Reports, 2023
Summary: G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) convert extracellular stimuli into intracellular signaling by coupling to heterotrimeric G proteins of four classes: Gi/o, Gq, Gs, and G12/13.

G Protein-Coupled Receptors: Undervalued Targets for Cancer Therapy

Iraqi Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2022
Despite the G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) being the largest family of signalling proteins at the surface of cells, their potential to be targeted in cancer therapy is still under-utilised.
