Opioid receptors and their ligands.
This review gives a historical perspective, summarizing approximately 25 years of research on opioids. The "typical" opioid peptides produced in the brain, "atypical" opioids encrypted in milk protein or hemoglobin sequences, and extremely potent and selective opioids of amphibian origin are described. The main focus is on the structure-activity relationship studies of peptide ligands for three...
متن کاملMetabotropic glutamate receptors and their ligands applications in neurological and psychiatric disorders
Metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) consist of a large family of G-protein coupled receptors that are critical for regulating normal neuronal function in the central nervous system. The wide distribution and diverse physiological roles of various mGluR subtypes make them highly attractive targets for the treatment of a number of neurological and psychiatric disorders. The discovery of ...
متن کاملDeath receptors and their ligands in atherosclerosis.
Atherosclerosis is characterized by the accumulation of a fibro-fatty plaque consisting of immune cells, vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), vascular endothelial cells (ECs), and extracellular matrix, surrounding a lipid-rich core. The complexity of atherosclerosis is highlighted by the multifaceted effects that apoptosis and proliferation of specific cell types can have on vessels at differe...
متن کاملThe ErbB Receptors and their Ligands
ErbB receptors are crucial for development and evolution and have been intensely pursued as targets for cancer therapeutics. Inhibiting the signaling activity of individual receptors in this family has advanced human cancer treatment. However, actual curative effects of the existing anti-ErbB therapeutics are still insufficient. A large percentage of patients who are initially responsive to Erb...
متن کاملToll-Like Receptors, Their Ligands, and Atherosclerosis
Atherosclerosis is a disease characterized by inflammation in the arterial wall. Atherogenesis is dependent on the innate immune response involving activation of Toll-like receptors (TLRs) and the expression of inflammatory proteins. TLRs, which recognize various pathogen-associated molecular patterns, are expressed in various cell types within the atherosclerotic plaque. Microbial agents are a...
