NKG2D ligands as therapeutic targets.
The Natural Killer Group 2D (NKG2D) receptor plays an important role in protecting the host from infections and cancer. By recognizing ligands induced on infected or tumor cells, NKG2D modulates lymphocyte activation and promotes immunity to eliminate ligand-expressing cells. Because these ligands are not widely expressed on healthy adult tissue, NKG2D ligands may present a useful target for im...
متن کاملProteases as drug targets.
The effective management of AIDS with HIV protease inhibitors, or the use of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors to treat hypertension, indicates that proteases do make good drug targets. On the other hand, matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) inhibitors from several companies have failed in both cancer and rheumatoid arthritis clinical trials. Mindful of the MMP inhibitor experience, this chapt...

متن کاملTRP channels as drug targets.
Ca2+ channel antagonists acting on electrically-excitable cells have proved to be valuable therapeutic agents. The discovery of such agents and the identification of their molecular target resulted from the investigation of unexpected actions of known pharmacological agents. Ca2+ influx through receptor-operated channels in electrically non-excitable cells such as leukocytes is also functionall...
متن کاملV-ATPases as drug targets.
V-ATPases are large, complex enzymes responsible for acidification of many internal compartments in eukaryotic cells. They also occur on plasma membranes of specialized cells, where they acidify the surrounding milieu. Numerous physiological processes depend on the activity of V-ATPases, and V-ATPases are implicated as a contributing factor in multiple diseases, including osteoporosis, deafness...
