  2022-03-07

  

  Receptor guanylyl cyclases play essential roles in cardiovascular and gastrointestinal (patho-)physiology, reproduction biology, cell proliferation, bone growth and sensory signal transduction and, therefore, are important pharmacological targets. Accordingly, the receptor guanylyl cyclase agonists

  2022-03-07

  

  Importantly, each conformational state in the SRP–SR dimer provides a distinct point of regulation at which these GTPases can directly sense and respond to different biological cues in the pathway. For example, assembly of a stable ‘closed’ complex between SRP and SR is intrinsically very slow (kon

• Lipid sensing GPCRs as therapeutic targets

  2022-03-07

  

  Lipid-sensing GPCRs as therapeutic targets G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) comprise a family of cell-surface receptors that respond to various extracellular stimuli such as light, odorants, neurotransmitters and hormones, and trigger a cascade of intracellular signaling. There are approximately

  2022-03-07

  

  The GPR55 receptor is also emerging as an important therapeutic target. GPR55−/− mice possess no overt phenotype, but were protected in models of inflammatory and neuropathic pain (Staton et al., 2008). Staton et al. (2008) reported that no GPR55 mRNA could be detected by RT-PCR in the animals. Also

  Gastrointestinal peptides and intestinal health Gastrointestinal peptides are intimately involved in the regulation of feeding behaviors, energy metabolism and bodyweight 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41. GPR120 has been demonstrated to induce secretion of two such peptides: GLP-1 and cholecystokinin (CCK)

  Opportunities The ever-expanding diabetes market is one of the driving forces for the development of new antidiabetes drugs. Diabetes mellitus influenced an estimated 371 million humans during 2012 worldwide, and this figure is projected to increase in every country. According to International Di

  The glyoxalase system has not yet been studied in E. histolytica or G. lamblia. Searches in the G. lamblia genome (GiardiaDB.org) revealed two genes encoding hydroxyacylglutathione hydrolases (Morrison et al., 2007), but no glyoxalase I gene was found. The genome of E. histolytica does not have a

  GR Is a Transcriptional Activator How GR activates some genes while repressing others remains unsettled after decades of study. While significant controversy exists regarding GR-mediated repression, a consensus model for transcriptional activation has emerged: GR activates transcription through s

• GLI proteins activate or repress

  2022-03-04

  

  GLI proteins activate or repress transcription of their target genes by binding to a similar sequence motif within a cis-regulatory module (CRM) (Hallikas and Taipale, 2006, Peterson et al., 2012). Transcriptional responses to the HH pathway can be elicited either by de-repression of GLI-R or in oth

  2022-03-04

  

  Another key component of proper DA cell physiology is the basal firing activity of SN DA neurons, which maintains extracellular levels of dopamine in the dorsal striatum that are essential for voluntary movement [106]. Changes in SN DA neuron activity directly impacts the amount of dopamine released

  2022-03-04

  

  GSIs were shown to effectively decrease Aβ levels at doses close to or higher than their IC50 values in cell culture models. Surprisingly, they also slightly increase Aβ levels at low doses, (significantly below the IC50) also known as “Aβ rise”, due to various mechanisms including inhibition of cel

  2022-03-04

  

  Galanin mediates its activity by binding to three G-protein coupled receptor subtypes (designated GAL1-GAL3). Since GAL3 mRNA is found mainly in regions of the mesolimbic dopamine system, such as the ventral tegmental area, dorsal raphe nucleus, LC, amygdala, hippocampus, thalamus, hypothalamus, NAc

  In order to ensure that the decrease in ethanol and morphine intake was not due to a sedative effect of SNAP 37889, locomotor activity and motor learning were assessed through behavioural paradigms. Using the locomotor test, SNAP 37889 did not alter any parameters of locomotion; this lack of sedatio

  2022-03-04

  

  Acquiring resistance to the FGFR inhibitor may determine treatment outcomes in patients with GC dependent on FGFR2 amplification, and we investigated the mechanism of AZD4547 resistance in FGFR2-amplified GC cells. We established a FGFR2-amplified GC cell line resistant to the selective FGFR inhibit

  Recent research has focused on identifying key agonists and receptors mediating nutrient-induced GLP-1 and insulin secretion. The long-chain fatty YK-4-279 receptor GPR40 is the most abundant GPCR expressed in islet β cells and is also expressed on intestinal L-cells, where it contributes to GLP-1
