Class A G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) influence virtually every aspect of human physiology. Understanding receptor activation mechanism is critical for discovering novel …
Trace amines are endogenous compounds classically regarded as comprising β- phenylethyalmine, p-tyramine, tryptamine, p-octopamine, and some of their metabolites …
Bone has recently emerged as a pleiotropic endocrine organ that secretes at least two hormones, FGF23 and osteocalcin, which regulate kidney function and glucose …
The variety of physiological functions controlled by dopamine in the brain and periphery is mediated by the D 1, D 2, D 3, D 4 and D 5 dopamine GPCRs. Drugs acting on dopamine …
Involuntary movements, or dyskinesia, represent a debilitating complication of levodopa (L- dopa) therapy for Parkinson's disease (PD). L-dopa-induced dyskinesia (LID) are ultimately …
G protein-coupled dopamine receptors (D1, D2, D3, D4, and D5) mediate all of the physiological functions of the catecholaminergic neurotransmitter dopamine, ranging from …
