G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) are proteins triggered by ligands (protein-binding chemicals) from outside cells to ...

G protein–coupled receptors (GPCRs) initiate signaling cascades while ensconced in the cell membrane. At least, that’s where GPCRs are usually found. But some GPCRs ride endosomes into the cell’s ...

Opioid receptors are a subset of G protein–coupled receptors (GPCRs). These membrane proteins transmit signals into the cell ...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 118, No. 28 (July 13, 2021), pp. 1-10 (10 pages) The evolutionary expansion of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) ...

Researchers at University of California San Diego have identified a new signaling process involving G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), a cellular target already exploited by hundreds of diverse ...

GPCR dynamics, shown in purple as the human A 2A receptor, and elegant modifications in activation pathways (allostery) indicated by the blue arrow, are critical for enabling GPCRs to bind to multiple ...

GPCRs are involved in various physiological processes, such as the regulation of behavior, mood, and immune system activity. GPCRs represent one of the most important targets in drug discovery; ...

Researchers at University of California San Diego have identified a new signaling process involving G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), a cellular target already exploited by hundreds of diverse ...

Being abundant primary producers, single-celled eukaryotic diatoms and dinoflagellates dominate marine food webs and significantly impact the ecology of the oceans. These organisms face competition ...
