The International Nomenclature Project: An Update

An update of the S100 nomenclature.

The plethora of names given to S100 proteins resulted in considerable confusion. Here we present the official and updated nomenclature of this protein family, approved by the HGNC (HUGO gene nomenclature committee) and ECS (European Calcium Society).

International Union of Pharmacology. XXIX. Update on endothelin receptor nomenclature.

In mammals, the endothelin (ET) family comprises three endogenous isoforms, ET-1, ET-2, and ET-3. ET-1 is the principal isoform in the human cardiovascular system and remains the most potent and long-lasting constrictor of human vessels discovered. In humans, endothelins mediate their actions via only two receptor types that have been cloned and classified as the ET(A) and ET(B) receptors in th...

International Union of Pharmacology. XXX. Update on chemokine receptor nomenclature.

An update of the International Union of Pharmacology nomenclature for chemokines is outlined, defining one new receptor type, CXCR6, and disqualifying the putative receptor, CCR11.

International Union of Basic and Clinical Pharmacology. LXXXI. Nomenclature and classification of adenosine receptors--an update.

In the 10 years since our previous International Union of Basic and Clinical Pharmacology report on the nomenclature and classification of adenosine receptors, no developments have led to major changes in the recommendations. However, there have been so many other developments that an update is needed. The fact that the structure of one of the adenosine receptors has recently been solved has al...
