Adenosine A1 receptor: Functional receptor-receptor interactions in the brain [PDF]
Over the past decade, many lines of investigation have shown that receptor-mediated signaling exhibits greater diversity than previously appreciated. Signal diversity arises from numerous factors, which include the formation of receptor dimers and interplay between different receptors.

An Introduction to Receptors and Receptor Disorders
SummaryIn the last decade reliable methods have been introduced to quantitate and characterize receptors for hormones and other biologically interesting ligands. Applied initially to hormone receptors on malignant cells and to androgen-resistant and insulin-resistant states, these methods have led to the identification of many disease processes where ...

Characterisation of bovine leukocyte Ig-like receptors [PDF]
Leukocyte Immunoglobulin-like receptors (LILR) are innate immune receptors involved in regulating both innate and adaptive immune functions. LILR show more interspecies conservation than the closely related Killer Ig-like receptors, and homologues have ...

Lipoxins (LXs) represent a class of arachidonic acid (AA) metabolites that carry potent immunoregulatory and anti-inflammatory properties, LXA4and LXB4being the main components of this series. LXs are generated by cooperation between 5-lipoxygenase (LO) and 12- or 15-LO during cell-cell interactions or by single cell types. LX epimers at carbon 15, the

Modulation of neurosteroid potentiation by protein kinases at synaptic- and extrasynaptic-type GABAA receptors. [PDF]
GABAA receptors are important for inhibition in the CNS where neurosteroids and protein kinases are potent endogenous modulators. Acting individually, these can either enhance or depress receptor function, dependent upon the type of neurosteroid or ...

Potentiation of glycine-gated NR1/NR3A NMDA receptors relieves Ca2+-dependent outward rectification [PDF]
Glycine has diverse functions within the mammalian central nervous system. It inhibits postsynaptic neurons via strychnine-sensitive glycine receptors (GlyRs) and enhances neuronal excitation through co-activation of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors.

Opioids and Their Receptors [PDF]
The interest in opioids such as morphine, the prototypical opioid ligand, has been maintained through the years. The identification of endogenous opioids and their receptors (mu, delta, kappa, and nociceptin), molecular cloning, and the elucidation of ...

Of the established Ca2+-mobilizing messengers, NAADP is arguably the most tantalizing. It is the most potent, often efficacious at low nanomolar concentrations, and its receptors undergo dramatic desensitization. Recent studies have identified a new class of calcium-release channel, the two-pore channels (TPCs), as the likely targets for NAADP ...

Distinct pharmacological and functional properties of NMDA receptors in mouse cortical astrocytes [PDF]
Background and purpose Astrocytes of the mouse neocortex express functional NMDA receptors which are not blocked by Mg2+ions. However, study of the pharmacological profile of glial NMDARs and their subunit composition is far from complete ...

Nuclear receptors : from molecular mechanisms to therapeutics [PDF]
Nuclear receptors are classically defined as ligand-activated transcription factors that regulate key functions in reproduction, development, and physiology. Humans have 48 nuclear receptors, which when dysregulated are often linked to diseases.
