G protein-coupled receptors are at a central node of all cell communications. Investigating their molecular functioning is therefore crucial for both academic purposes and drug design. However, getting the receptors as isolated, stable and purified proteins for such studies still stumbles over their ...
How are G protein-coupled receptors and receptor protein-tyrosine kinases different in terms of their response to a ligand binding to them - receiving a signal? (Explain what the receptor does, not the signaling pathway afterwards.) Which of the following molecules is not an inte...

Generally via G protein-coupled processes, affecting intracellular signaling Muscarinic receptors via G protein-coupled processes, nicotinic receptors as ion channels 9 Compare with Definitions Adrenergic Receptors Beta receptors increase heart rate Beta-1 receptors in the heart are activated by adrenaline ...
The endocannabinoid system consists of the endogenous cannabinoids (endocannabinoids), cannabinoid receptors and the enzymes that synthesise and degrade endocannabinoids. Many of the effects of cannabinoids and endocannabinoids are mediated by two G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), CB1 and CB2, although...

This molecule exerts its function through two receptors (AT1R and AT2R). Both of them are G protein-coupled receptors, but the activation of AT1R mediates the most important biological actions, including the control of plasma sodium concentration, arterial blood pressure, extracellular volume, cell...
G protein-coupled estrogen receptor 1 (GPER) in the female reproductive tract: from physiology to cancer Estrogen effects are mediated either through genomic action involving the classical estrogen receptors, estrogen receptor alpha (ER伪) and beta (ER脽), which function as transcription factors in ...
