Neuropeptide G Protein-Coupled Receptors as Oncotargets
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2018 Neuropeptide G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are overexpressed on numerous cancer cells. In a number of tumors, such as small cell lung cancer (SCLC), bombesin (BB) like peptides and neurotensin (NTS) function as autocrine growth factors whereby they

Crystallization of G Protein-Coupled Receptors [PDF]
, 2013 Oligomerization is one of several mechanisms that can regulate the activity of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), but little is known about the structure of GPCR oligomers. Crystallography and NMR are the only methods able to reveal the details of receptor-receptor interactions at an atomic level, and several GPCR homodimers already have been ...

Role of G-protein coupled receptors in cardiovascular diseases
Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2023 Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of death globally, with CVDs accounting for nearly 30% of deaths worldwide each year. G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the most prominent family of receptors on the cell surface, and play an ...

G Protein–Coupled Receptor Heteromers [PDF]
Annual Review of Pharmacology and Toxicology, 2016 G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) compose one of the largest families of membrane proteins involved in intracellular signaling. They are involved in numerous physiological and pathological processes and are prime candidates for drug development. Over the past decade, an increasing number of studies have reported heteromerization between GPCRs.

Regulating G protein-coupled receptors by topological inversion
eLife, 2019 G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are a family of proteins containing seven transmembrane helices, with the N- and C-terminus of the protein located at the extracellular space and cytosol, respectively.

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.

Regulators of G protein signalling proteins in the human myometrium [PDF]
, 2009 The contractile state of the human myometrium is controlled by extracellular signals that promote relaxation or contraction. Many of these signals function through G proteincoupled receptors at the cell surface, stimulating heterotrimeric G proteins and ...

G Protein–Coupled Receptor Deorphanizations [PDF]
Annual Review of Pharmacology and Toxicology, 2013 G protein–coupled receptors (GPCRs) are major regulators of intercellular interactions. They initiate these actions by being activated by a wide variety of natural ligands. Historically, ligands were discovered first, but the advent of molecular biology reversed this trend.
