Lysophospholipid G Protein-coupled Receptors [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2004
The many biological responses documented for lysophospholipids that include lysophosphatidic acid and sphingosine 1-phosphate can be mechanistically attributed to signaling through specific G protein-coupled receptors. At least nine receptors have now been identified, and the total number is likely to be larger.

G Protein-Coupled Receptors in Cancer [PDF]

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2016
Despite the fact that G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the largest signal-conveying receptor family and mediate many physiological processes, their role in tumor biology is underappreciated. Numerous lines of evidence now associate GPCRs and their downstream signaling targets in cancer growth and development.

The role of dimerisation in the cellular trafficking of G-protein-coupled receptors [PDF]

, 2010
The concept that G-protein-coupled receptors can exist as homomeric and/or heteromeric complexes is now well established. Despite this, how dynamic such interactions are and if this may be modulated during receptor trafficking remain topics of debate ...

Evolution of vertebrate GnRH receptors from the perspective of a basal vertebrate

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2012
This minireview provides the current status on gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptors (GnRH-R) in vertebrates, from the perspective of a basal vertebrate, the sea lamprey, and provides an evolutionary scheme based on the recent advance of whole genome ...

G-Protein-Coupled Receptors [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1998
G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) constitute a huge family of membrane receptors to numerous hormones, neurotransmitters and diverse compounds. A large part of cardiovascular and neurological pharmacology is based upon the knowledge of these receptors and on the identification of molecules able to interfere with them, in an agonistic or antagonistic ...

G‐protein‐coupled receptors and melanoma [PDF]

Pigment Cell & Melanoma Research, 2008
SummaryG‐protein‐coupled receptors (GPCR) are the largest family of receptors with over 500 members. Evaluation of GPCR gene expression in primary human tumors identified over‐expression of GPCR in several tumor types. Analysis of cancer samples in different disease stages also suggests that some GPCR may be involved in early tumor progression and ...

Prediction of Structure, Function, and Spectroscopic Properties of G-Protein-Coupled Receptors: Methods and Applications [PDF]

, 2004
G-protein-coupled receptors are of great pharmaceutical interest, comprising the majority of targets for currently marketed drugs. The theme of my thesis is the development of the structure prediction method, MembStruk, for the superfamily of G-protein ...

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.

A Robust and Rapid Method of Producing Soluble, Stable, and Functional G-Protein Coupled Receptors [PDF]

, 2011
Membrane proteins, particularly G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs), are notoriously difficult to express. Using commercial E.coli cell-free systems with the detergent Brij-35, we could rapidly produce milligram quantities of 13 unique GPCRs ...
