متن کاملAdhesion GPCRs are widely expressed throughout the subsections of the gastrointestinal tract
BACKGROUND G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) represent one of the largest families of transmembrane receptors and the most common drug target. The Adhesion subfamily is the second largest one of GPCRs and its several members are known to mediate neural development and immune system functioning through cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions. The distribution of these receptors has not been cha...
متن کاملMacrophage HIV-1 infection and the gastrointestinal tract reservoir.
Excluding parenteral transmissions, virtually all vertical and homosexual transmission of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) occurs via the gastrointestinal tract. Cellular routes implicated in the translocation of virus across the epithelium include M cells, dendritic cells, and epithelial cells. Intestinal epithelial cells express CCR5 and can selectively transfer CCR5-tropic HIV-1, ...
