STAT3, a hub protein of cellular signaling pathways, is triggered by β-hexaclorocyclohexane [PDF]
Background: Organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) are widely distributed in the environment and their toxicity is mostly associated with the molecular mechanisms of endocrine disruption.

Cardiac Sigma Receptors – An Update
More than four decades passed since sigma receptors were first mentioned. Since then, existence of at least two receptor subtypes and their tissue distributions have been proposed. Nowadays, it is clear, that sigma receptors are unique ubiquitous proteins with pluripotent function, which can interact with so many different classes of proteins.

Pregnancy reduces brain sigma receptor function [PDF]
Sigma (σ) receptors have recently been cloned, though their endogenous ligand(s) remain unidentified. However, some neuroactive steroids, such as progesterone, have a high affinity for these receptors. Some σ ligands, such as DTG, (+)‐pentazocine and DHEA, act as σ ‘agonists’ by potentiating the neuronal response to NMDA. Others, such as haloperidol,

The sigma receptors were classified into sigma-1 and sigma-2 receptor based on their different pharmacological profiles. In the past two decades, our understanding of the biological and pharmacological properties of the sigma-1 receptor is increasing ...

The ectodomain of Toll-like receptor 9 is cleaved to generate a functional receptor. [PDF]
Mammalian Toll-like receptors (TLRs) 3, 7, 8 and 9 initiate immune responses to infection by recognizing microbial nucleic acids; however, these responses come at the cost of potential autoimmunity owing to inappropriate recognition of self nucleic acids.
