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: 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.

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 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.

Interaction of Prokineticin Receptors with Accessory Proteins
Encyclopedia, 2023 G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are transmembrane proteins that mediate the intracellular pathway of signals not only through heterotrimeric GTP-binding proteins (G proteins) but also through their associations with a variety of additional partner ...

GPCRs in Intracellular Compartments: New Targets for Drug Discovery
Biomolecules, 2022 The architecture of eukaryotic cells is defined by extensive membrane-delimited compartments, which entails separate metabolic processes that would otherwise interfere with each other, leading to functional differences between cells.

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.

Lysophosphatidic Acid Signaling in Cancer Cells: What Makes LPA So Special?
Cells, 2021 Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) refers to a family of simple phospholipids that act as ligands for G protein-coupled receptors. While LPA exerts effects throughout the body in normal physiological circumstances, its pathological role in cancer is of great ...
