Heterodimerization of G-protein-coupled receptors: pharmacology, signaling and trafficking

LA Devi - Trends in pharmacological sciences, 2001 - cell.com
Although classical models predict that G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) function as
monomers, several recent studies acknowledge that GPCRs exist as dimeric or oligomeric …

Dimerization of G-protein-coupled receptors: roles in signal transduction

M Bai - Cellular signalling, 2004 - Elsevier
Recently, many G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) have been demonstrated to form
constitutive dimers consisting of identical or distinct monomeric subunits. The discovery of …

G protein-coupled receptor dimerization: function and ligand pharmacology

G Milligan - Molecular pharmacology, 2004 - ASPET
It is now generally accepted that G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) can exist as dimers
or as part of larger oligomeric complexes. Increasing evidence suggests that a dimer is the …

Heterodimerization of g protein-coupled receptors: specificity and functional significance

SC Prinster, C Hague, RA Hall - Pharmacological reviews, 2005 - ASPET
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are cell surface receptors that mediate physiological
responses to a diverse array of stimuli. GPCRs have traditionally been thought to act as …

Roles of G‐protein‐coupled receptor dimerization: From ontogeny to signalling regulation

S Terrillon, M Bouvier - EMBO reports, 2004 - embopress.org
The classical idea that G‐protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) function as monomeric
entities has been unsettled by the emerging concept of GPCR dimerization. Recent findings …

G protein–coupled receptor oligomerization revisited: functional and pharmacological perspectives

S Ferré, V Casadó, LA Devi, M Filizola, R Jockers… - Pharmacological …, 2014 - ASPET
Most evidence indicates that, as for family CG protein–coupled receptors (GPCRs), family A
GPCRs form homo-and heteromers. Homodimers seem to be a predominant species, with …

G-protein-coupled receptor dimerization: modulation of receptor function

CD Rios, BA Jordan, I Gomes, LA Devi - Pharmacology & therapeutics, 2001 - Elsevier
G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) comprise the largest family of transmembrane
receptors in the human genome that respond to a plethora of signals, including …

G‐protein‐coupled receptor heteromers: function and ligand pharmacology

R Franco, V Casado, A Cortés, J Mallol… - British journal of …, 2008 - Wiley Online Library
Almost all existing models for G‐protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) are based on the
occurrence of monomers. Recent studies show that many GPCRs are dimers. Therefore for …

The impact of G‐protein‐coupled receptor hetero‐oligomerization on function and pharmacology

R Maggio, F Novi, M Scarselli, GU Corsini - The FEBS journal, 2005 - Wiley Online Library
Although highly controversial just a few years ago, the idea that G‐protein‐coupled
receptors (GPCRs) may undergo homo‐oligomerization or hetero‐oligomerization has …

Functional significance of oligomerization of G-protein-coupled receptors

A Salahpour, S Angers, M Bouvier - Trends in Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2000 - cell.com
In contrast to other families of cell surface receptors for which dimerization is an integral part
of the activation process, G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) were thought, until recently …
