The Journal of Pediatrics, 1981 Cells are endowed with specific cognitive molecules that function as receptors for hormones, neurotransmitters, and other intercellular messengers. The receptor molecules may be present in the plasma membrane, cytoplasm, or nucleus. When occupied by the messenger, the receptor is coupled to the cellular machinery that responds to the message-bearing ...

Patched, the receptor of Hedgehog, is a lipoprotein receptor [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2008 The Hedgehog (Hh) family of secreted signaling proteins has a broad variety of functions during metazoan development and implications in human disease. Despite Hh being modified by two lipophilic adducts, Hh migrates far from its site of synthesis and programs cellular outcomes depending on its local concentrations.

Stabilin Receptors: Role as Phosphatidylserine Receptors [PDF]
Biomolecules, 2019 Phosphatidylserine is a membrane phospholipid that is localized to the inner leaflet of the plasma membrane. Phosphatidylserine externalization to the outer leaflet of the plasma membrane is an important signal for various physiological processes, including apoptosis, platelet activation, cell fusion, lymphocyte activation, and regenerative axonal ...

Skeletal Muscle, 2011 Abstract Excitation-contraction coupling involves the faithful conversion of electrical stimuli to mechanical shortening in striated muscle cells, enabled by the ubiquitous second messenger, calcium. Crucial to this process are ryanodine receptors (RyRs), the sentinels of massive intracellular calcium stores contained within the sarcoplasmic ...

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Biomembranes, 2011 The concept of intra-membrane receptor-receptor interactions (RRIs) between different types of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) and evidence for their existence was introduced by Agnati and Fuxe in 1980/81 through the biochemical analysis of the effects of neuropeptides on the binding characteristics of monoamine receptors in membrane preparations ...

Discovery of a receptor related to the galanin receptors [PDF]
FEBS Letters, 1999 We report the isolation of a cDNA clone named GPR54, which encodes a novel G protein‐coupled receptor (GPCR). A PCR search of rat brain cDNA retrieved a clone partially encoding a GPCR. In a library screening this clone was used to isolate a cDNA with an open reading frame (ORF) encoding a receptor of 396 amino acids long which shared significant ...

Scavenger receptor-BI is a receptor for lipoprotein(a) [PDF]
Journal of Lipid Research, 2013 Scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-BI) is a multi-ligand receptor that binds a variety of lipoproteins, including high density lipoprotein (HDL) and low density lipoprotein (LDL), but lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] has not been investigated as a possible ligand. Stable cell lines (HEK293 and HeLa) expressing human SR-BI were incubated with protein- or lipid-

Chimeric Receptors of the Human C3a Receptor and C5a Receptor (CD88) [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1999 Chimeras were generated between the human anaphylatoxin C3a and C5a receptors (C3aR and C5aR, respectively) to define the structural requirements for ligand binding and discrimination. Chimeric receptors were generated by systematically exchanging between the two receptors four receptor modules (the N terminus, transmembrane regions 1 to 4, the second ...

A guide to chemokines and their receptors
The FEBS Journal, 2018 The chemokines (or chemotactic cytokines) are a large family of small, secreted proteins that signal through cell surface G protein‐coupled heptahelical chemokine receptors.
