Serotonin (5‐HT) induces concentration‐dependent metabolic effects in diverse cell types,
including neurons, entherochromaffin cells, adipocytes, pancreatic beta‐cells, fibroblasts …

Lipid molecules are able to selectively interact with specific sites on integral membrane
proteins, and modulate their structure and function. Identification and characterization of …

The N-terminal fusion peptide (residues 770–788) of an S2 glycoprotein of the severe acute
respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV), exposed upon receptor binding, is crucial …

Serotonin receptors 5-HT1A and 5-HT7 are highly coexpressed in brain regions implicated
in depression. However, their functional interaction has not been established. In the present …

Transcription factors dynamically bind to chromatin and are essential for the regulation of
genes. Although a large percentage of these proteins appear to self-associate to form …

The β 2-adrenergic receptor is an important member of the G-protein-coupled receptor
(GPCR) superfamily, whose stability and function are modulated by membrane cholesterol …

The function of several G protein–coupled receptors (GPCRs) exhibits cholesterol sensitivity.
Cholesterol sensitivity of GPCRs could be attributed to specific sequence and structural …

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the largest class of molecules involved in signal
transduction across cell membranes and represent major targets in the development of …

G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) are membrane proteins that convey extracellular
signals to the cellular milieu. They represent a target for more than 30% of currently …
