Class A G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) influence virtually every aspect of human physiology. Understanding receptor activation mechanism is critical for discovering novel …
Abstract Serotonin, or 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), is an important neurotransmitter, that activates the largest subtype family of G-protein-coupled receptors. Drugs that target 5 …
Summary The D1-and D2-dopamine receptors (D1R and D2R), which signal through G s and G i, respectively, represent the principal stimulatory and inhibitory dopamine receptors …
Heterotrimetic G proteins consist of four subfamilies (G s, G i/o, G q/11, and G 12/13) that mediate signaling via G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), principally by receptors binding …
Summary Serotonin (or 5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) is an important neurotransmitter that activates 12 different G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) through selective coupling of G …
Cannabis elicits its mood-enhancing and analgesic effects through the cannabinoid receptor 1 (CB1), a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) that signals primarily through the adenylyl …
Drugs selectively targeting CB2 hold promise for treating neurodegenerative disorders, inflammation, and pain while avoiding psychotropic side effects mediated by CB1. The …
Muscarinic acetylcholine receptors are G protein–coupled receptors that respond to acetylcholine and play important signaling roles in the nervous system. There are five …
