G-protein Coupled Receptor Dimerization
A growing body of evidence suggests that GPCRs exist and function as dimers or higher oligomers. The evidence for GPCR dimerization comes from biochemical, biophysical and functional studies. In addition, researchers have shown the occurrence of heterodimerization between different members of the GPCR family. Two receptors can interact with each other to make a dimer through their extracellular...
متن کاملNew Approaches for G-protein Coupled Receptor Ligands Identification
Heimann A, Ferro E. New Approaches for G-protein Coupled Receptor Ligands I0dentification. Annu Rev Biomed Sci 2009;11:T95-T101. G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) represent the class of proteins with the highest impact from social, therapeutic and economic point of view. Today, more than 50% of drug targets are based on GPCRs and the annual worldwide sales exceeds 50 billion dollars. GPCRs ar...
متن کاملPharmacogenomics of G protein-coupled receptor ligands in cardiovascular medicine.
Agonists and antagonists of G protein-coupled receptors are important drugs for the treatment of cardiovascular disease, but the therapeutic response of any given patient remains difficult to predict because of large interindividual variability. Among the factors potentially contributing to such variability, we have reviewed the evidence for a role of pharmacodynamic pharmacogenetics (i.e., pol...
متن کاملIdentifying Unfolding Pathways of G Protein-Coupled Receptor Protein Structures
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) have important functionality in cell signaling processes by external affects such as light, smell, taste, and hormones. The conformational changes in structures of GPCR’s play vital role in signaling processes. The understanding of conformational changes is useful to determine basis of certain diseases that are related to malfunctioning of these proteins. The...
متن کاملNew G-protein-coupled receptor crystal structures: insights and limitations.
G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) constitute a large family of structurally similar proteins that respond to a chemically diverse array of physiological and environmental stimulants. Until recently, high-resolution structural information was limited to rhodopsin, a naturally abundant GPCR that is highly specialized for the detection of light. Non-rhodopsin GPCRs for diffusible hormones and ne...
