Cardiac Sigma Receptors – An Update

open access: yesPhysiological Research, 2018
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]

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, 1999
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,

Sigma-2 Receptor—A Potential Target for Cancer/Alzheimer’s Disease Treatment via Its Regulation of Cholesterol Homeostasis

open access: yesMolecules, 2020
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]

open access: yes, 2008
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.
