Cgrp Characterization And Classification

The Scientific World Journal, 2001
The peptide CGRP is thought to be an agonist at a number of receptors including its own as well as those for adrenomedullin and amylin. CGRP is thought to act through its own receptors if it is antagonized by the truncated peptide CGRP8-37 although this ...

Actin cytoskeleton-dependent regulation of corticotropin-releasing factor receptor heteromers [PDF]

, 2017
Stress responses are highly nuanced and variable, but how this diversity is achieved by modulating receptor function is largely unknown. Corticotropin-releasing factor receptors (CRFRs), class B G protein–coupled receptors, are pivotal in mediating ...

Discovery of Human Signaling Systems: Pairing Peptides to G Protein-Coupled Receptors

Cell, 2019
Summary The peptidergic system is the most abundant network of ligand-receptor-mediated signaling in humans. However, the physiological roles remain elusive for numerous peptides and more than 100 G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs).

Peripheral and central mechanisms involved in hormonal control of male and female reproduction [PDF]

, 2016
Reproduction involves the integration of hormonal signals acting across multiple systems togenerate a synchronized physiological output. A critical component of reproduction is the luteinizinghormone (LH) surge, which is mediated by estradiol (E2) and ...

The TNF Receptors p55 and p75 Mediate Chemotaxis of PMN Induced by TNFα and a TNFα 36–62 Peptide

Mediators of Inflammation, 1994
The present study was performed to examine whether residues 36–62 of TNFα contain the chemotactic domain of TNFα, and whether the p55 and p75 TNF receptors are involved in TNFα induced chemotaxis.

New Insights Into Peptide Cannabinoids: Structure, Biosynthesis and Signaling

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2020
Classically, the endocannabinoid system (ECS) consists of endogenous lipids, of which the best known are anandamide (AEA) and 2 arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG), their enzyme machinery for synthesis and degradation and their specific receptors, cannabinoid ...

Therapy of pancreatic cancer via an EphA2 receptor-targeted delivery of gemcitabine. [PDF]

, 2016
First line treatment for pancreatic cancer consists of surgical resection, if possible, and a subsequent course of chemotherapy using the nucleoside analogue gemcitabine.

Structural basis of peptide recognition and activation of endothelin receptors

Nature Communications, 2023
Endothelin receptors (ETAR and ETBR) are critical for vasoregulation and are targets for cardiovascular diseases treatment. Here, the authors offer a structural basis for peptide recognition selectivity and activation of both endothelin receptors.

Short-Chain Fatty Acids Stimulate Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 Secretion via the G-Protein–Coupled Receptor FFAR2

Diabetes, 2012
Interest in how the gut microbiome can influence the metabolic state of the host has recently heightened. One postulated link is bacterial fermentation of “indigestible” prebiotics to short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), which in turn modulate the release of

Carcinomas and Carcinoid Tumors of the Lungs and Bronchi in Children and Adolescents: The EXPeRT Recommendations

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Primary lung carcinomas and bronchial carcinoid tumors (BC) are very rare malignancies in childhood. While typical BC and mucoepidermoid carcinomas are mostly low‐grade, localized tumors with a more favorable prognosis than in adults, necessitating avoidance of overtreatment, adenocarcinomas of the lung are often diagnosed at advanced disease ...
