Direct imaging of lateral movements of AMPA receptors inside synapses [PDF]
EMBO J 22, 18 (15/09/2003) 4656-65, 2007 Trafficking of AMPA receptors in and out of synapses is crucial for synaptic plasticity. Previous studies have focused on the role of endo/exocytosis processes or that of lateral diffusion of extra-synaptic receptors. We have now directly imaged AMPAR movements inside and outside synapses of live neurons using single-molecule fluorescence microscopy ...

G Protein-Coupled Receptors as Targets for Approved Drugs: How Many Targets and How Many Drugs?
Molecular Pharmacology, 2018 Estimates vary regarding the number of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), the largest family of membrane receptors that are targeted by approved drugs, and the number of such drugs that target GPCRs.

G Protein‐Coupled receptors and heterotrimeric G proteins as cancer drivers
FEBS Letters, 2020 G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) and heterotrimeric G proteins play central roles in a diverse array of cellular processes. As such, dysregulation of GPCRs and their coupled heterotrimeric G proteins can dramatically alter the signalling landscape and

Peptide ligand recognition by G protein-coupled receptors
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2015 The past few years have seen spectacular progress in the structure determination of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). We now have structural representatives from classes A, B, C, and F.

G-protein coupled receptor structure
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Biomembranes, 2007 Because of their central role in regulation of cellular function, structure/function relationships for G-protein coupled receptors (GPCR) are of vital importance, yet only recently have sufficient data been obtained to begin mapping those relationships. GPCRs regulate a wide range of cellular processes, including the senses of taste, smell, and vision,

Large number of receptors may reduce cellular response time variation [PDF]
Physical biology 10 (3), 035008, 2013, 2012 Cells often have tens of thousands of receptors, even though only a few activated receptors can trigger full cellular responses. Reasons for the overabundance of receptors remain unclear. We suggest that, in certain conditions, the large number of receptors results in a competition among receptors to be the first to activate the cell.
