Ligand Bias by the Endogenous Agonists of CCR7
<p>Chemokine receptors are members of the seven transmembrane receptor (7TMR) superfamily and are regulated by the G-protein coupled Receptor Kinase (GRK)/ b-arrestin system. CCL19 and CCL21 are endogenous agonists for the chemokine receptor CCR7. They are known to be equipotent in promoting Gi/o …

Development of a Microplate-Based Calcium Assay for Studying Desensitization of the P2Y2 Nucleotide Receptor
… family or metabotropic P2Y family of nucleotide receptors. The P2Y2 receptor (P2Y2R) regulates several important processes, such as inflammation, neuroprotection, and NaCl balance on the airway surface and in the kidneys. Prolonged stimulation of the P2Y2R leads to desensitization of the …

Molecular Regulation of Opioid Receptor Signaling
The varied behavioral effects of kappa opioid receptors (KOR) are mediated through different signaling cascades. KOR activation of G protein-dependent signaling results in analgesia, whereas the dysphoric effects are mediated by a different pathway involving G protein-coupled receptor kinase (GRK) …

Modelling Β2Ar Regulation
<p>The β2 adrenergic receptor (β2AR) regulates smooth muscle relaxation in the vasculature and airways. Long- and Short-acting β-agonists (LABAs/SABAs) are widely used in treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD) and asthma. Despite their widespread clinical use we do not …

Studies of Smoothened in Hedgehog Signaling Pathway
… Hh signal transducer, the seven-transmembrane protein Smoothened (Smo) is highly regulated. It is still a mystery how Smo transduces graded Hh signal to downstream components. Although Smo shares some structural similarity with G protein coupled receptors (GPCR), there is little evidence that G …

Identification of A Conserved Cluster In The Rh Domain of Grk Critical For Activation By Gpcrs
<p>One of the most critical aspects of G Protein Coupled Receptors (GPCRs) regulation is their rapid and acute desensitization following agonist stimulation. Phosphorylation of these receptors by GPCR kinases (GRK) is a major mechanism of desensitization. Considerable evidence from studies of …
