The ORL1 receptor: molecular pharmacology and signalling mechanisms.
The cloning of the opioid-receptor-like 1 (ORL(1)) receptor and the identification of nociceptin as its endogenous agonist have revealed a new G-protein-coupled receptor signalling system. The structural and functional homology of ORL(1) to the opioid receptor systems has posed a number of challenges in understanding the often competing physiological responses elicited by these G-protein-couple...
متن کاملMolecular Mechanisms Linking Adiponectin Receptor Signalling and Cancer
Adiponectin is an adipose tissue-derived hormone. It is a key hormone that is responsible for insulin sensitization, and its circulating level is inversely associated with abdominal obesity. Recent studies have shown that a reduced plasma adiponectin level is significantly correlated with the risk of various kinds of cancers. Adiponectin may influence the cancer risk by modulating the metabolic...
متن کاملMechanisms of neurotrophin receptor signalling.
Regulation of cell survival decisions and neuronal plasticity by neurotrophins are mediated by two classes of receptors, Trks (tropomyosin receptor kinases) and p75, the first discovered member of the tumour necrosis factor receptor superfamily. The p75 receptor participates with the TrkA receptor in the formation of high-affinity nerve growth factor-binding sites to promote survival under limi...
متن کاملModulation of the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor by polyamines: molecular pharmacology and mechanisms of action.
Introduction Glutamate is the major fast excitatory neurotransmitter in the vertebrate central nervous system. Glutamate receptors that are ligand-gated ion channels are classified on the basis of their sensitivity to the selective agonists N-methyl-11-aspartate (NMDA), a-arnino-3-hydroxy-S-methyl-4-isoxazoleproprionic acid (AMPA) and kainate. NMDA receptors play a key role in the generation of...
متن کاملExpression and molecular pharmacology of the mouse CRTH2 receptor.
Prostaglandin D2 (PGD2), the predominant prostanoid produced by activated mast cells, is implicated in a variety of allergic diseases. PGD2 exerts its effects through two G-protein coupled receptors, DP and CRTH2. PGD2 mediates chemotaxis of eosinophils, basophils, and Th2 cells via CRTH2-evoked signaling, suggesting a role for this receptor in allergic disease. To characterize the mouse CRTH2 ...
