Novel insights into histamine H2 receptor biology

Del Valle, John, and Ira Gantz. Novel insights into histamine H2 receptor biology. Am. J. Physiol. 273 (Gastrointest. Liver Physiol. 36): G987–G996, 1997.—Histamine exerts multiple biological actions through one of three receptor subtypes (H1, H2, and H3). This review focuses on new developments regarding the structure and function of the H2 receptor. In addition to the important role this rece...

New Trends in Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor Biology

Traditionally considered as a critical intermediate in the toxic and carcinogenic response to dioxin (2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin, TCDD), the Aryl hydrocarbon/Dioxin receptor (AhR) has proven to be also an important regulator of cell physiology and organ homeostasis. AhR has become an interesting and actual area of research mainly boosted by a significant number of recent studies analyz...

Evolving Trends in Estrogen Receptor Biology

Discussions on receptors involved in estrogen action(Stanišić et al,2010) have so far focused on the two major forms of “classical” estrogen receptors, the estrogen receptor ┙ (ER ┙) and estrogen receptor ┚ (ER ┚). Both are DNA binding as well as hormone binding forms, with distinct, well-characterized functional domains. The differences between the two have mainly been in their respective mole...

The biology of the (pro)renin receptor.

The (pro)renin receptor (PRR) binds renin and prorenin, its proenzyme inactive form. Receptor-bound prorenin becomes enzymatically active and binding then activates the MAP kinases ERK1/2 and p38 pathways, leading to upregulation of profibrotic and cyclooxygenase-2 genes independent of angiotensin II generation. These characteristics explain the interest in the potential role of PRR in organ da...

Nuclear receptor coregulators in cancer biology.

Coregulators (coactivators and corepressors) occupy the driving seat for actions of all nuclear receptors, and consequently, selective receptor modulator drugs. The potency and selectivity for subreactions of transcription reside in the coactivators, and thus, they are critically important for tissue-selective gene function. Each tissue has a "quantitative finger print" of coactivators based on...
