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-

Systemic Chronic Inflammation: Integrative Strategies for Health Improvement and Prevention of Inflammatory Receptor Overexpression

Receptors
The body’s physiology during physical injuries and diseases depends heavily on the function of acute inflammation. On the other hand, many variables, including iatrogenic, immune system deficiencies, lifestyle, and social and environmental factors, are ...

Unraveling the Role of CHRNA6, the Neuronal α6 Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor Subunit

Receptors
The increased prevalence of electronic cigarettes, particularly among adolescents, has escalated concerns about nicotine addiction. Nicotine, a potent psychostimulant found in tobacco products, exerts its effects by interacting with nicotinic ...

Somatic loss of estrogen receptor beta and p53 synergize to induce breast tumorigenesis

Breast Cancer Research, 2017
Background Upregulation of estrogen receptor beta (ERβ) in breast cancer cells is associated with epithelial maintenance, decreased proliferation and invasion, and a reduction in the expression of the receptor has been observed in invasive breast tumors.

Effects on Breathing of Agonists to μ-opioid or GABA\u3csub\u3eA\u3c/sub\u3e Receptors Dialyzed into the Ventral Respiratory Column of Awake and Sleeping Goats [PDF]

, 2017
Pulmonary ventilation (V̇I) in awake and sleeping goats does not change when antagonists to several excitatory G protein-coupled receptors are dialyzed unilaterally into the ventral respiratory column (VRC).

Odorant Receptors and Cancer

Receptors
Odorant receptors (ORs) constitute the largest family of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), with nearly 400 receptors identified in humans. The “omics” era has revealed an unexpected expression of ORs beyond olfactory tissues.

High- and low-conductance NMDA receptors are present in layer 4 spiny stellate and layer 2/3 pyramidal neurons of mouse barrel cortex

, 2016
NMDA receptors are ion channels activated by the neurotransmitter glutamate in the mammalian brain and are important in synaptic function and plasticity, but are also found in extrasynaptic locations and influence neuronal excitability.
