Independent Evolution of Strychnine Recognition by Bitter Taste Receptor Subtypes
Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2018 The 25 human bitter taste receptors (hT2Rs) recognize thousands of structurally and chemically diverse bitter substances. The binding modes of human bitter taste receptors hT2R10 and hT2R46, which are responsible for strychnine recognition, were ...

Obesity, EarlyView.This study identifies G protein‐coupled receptor 17 (Gpr17) as a novel regulator of leptin and insulin sensitivity. Using complementary knockout models, we demonstrate that Gpr17 deletion enhances energy expenditure, restores leptin responsiveness, and improves insulin sensitivity, revealing Gpr17 as a potential therapeutic GPCR target for obesity and ...

PROTEOMICS, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Despite their widespread use as a research model, a comprehensive, quantitative proteomic profile of the cultured hippocampal neurons has remained unexplored. Here, we provide the first global proteomic characterization of primary murine hippocampal neurons cultured for 14 days under near‐physiological glucose conditions (2.5 mM).

Development of GABAergic and glycinergic transmission in the neonatal rat dorsal horn [PDF]
, 2004 Cutaneous spinal sensory transmission appears to lack inhibitory control in the newborn spinal cord, but the properties of GABAergic and glycinergic synapses in the neonatal dorsal horn have not been characterized.
