Yeast cells are widely used to study G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), a large group of cell surface proteins in humans. However, several of these proteins lose their function when introduced into ...

A GPS-like technique has been used to track G protein-coupled receptor movement, revealing how these essential receptors function. Although G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are crucial to the ...

G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) are proteins triggered by ligands (protein-binding chemicals) from outside cells to transmit signals inside the cell. These signals are transmitted primarily ...

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 ...

Scientists reveal how G protein-coupled receptors, major therapeutic drug targets, decode critical properties of their ligands. Through an international collaboration, scientists at St. Jude ...

Infectious diseases are illnesses caused by pathogenic microorganisms—including viruses, bacteria, fungi, and parasites—that invade a host, replicate, and ...

SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Septerna, a biotechnology company discovering and advancing novel oral small molecule medicines targeting G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), today ...

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are transmembrane proteins that transduce an extracellular signal—ligand binding—into an intracellular signal—activation of G-protein—which in turn activates ...

Many people are familiar with histamine, a biological molecule that serves as a key driver of allergic reactions and other immune responses. However, histamine is also a major neurotransmitter in the ...
