  While the specific set of challenges associated with deorphanization and transforming each poorly characterized GPCR into a useful drug target will be unique, much can be learned by considering how these issues have been addressed for other receptors. One group of poorly characterized GPCRs that hav

  As natural ligands of GPR120, several long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (Lc-PUFAs) have been demonstrated to modulate the 3T3-L1 adipogenic differentiation. However, the effects of the Lc-PUFAs are inconclusive. DHA is shown to inhibit, promote or even not affect the differentiation of preadipo

  Introduction The third variable (V3) loop of the gp120 envelope glycoprotein (Env) on the surface of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) becomes exposed after the virus binds CD4, the initial receptor; the V3 loop plays an important role in contacting the coreceptor CCR5 or CXCR4 to media

  Spatial working memory improved in the Balb/c strain at a dose of VU0410120 (i.e., 30mg/kg) that disrupted spatial working memory in the Swiss Webster comparator strain. Consistent with a recent PET study in rhesus macaques suggesting a relationship between the extent of the dose-dependent occupancy

  Interestingly, mGlu2 and mGlu3 receptors differ notably by their cellular distribution. Whereas mGlu2 receptors are mostly neuronal, mGlu3 receptors are expressed both in glia and in neurons. In neurons, mGlu3 receptors are present at the post-synapse and in presynaptic elements (Tamaru et al., 2001

  Regulation of GCK by intrinsic conformational dynamics GCK is a 465-residue, 52-kDa enzyme comprised of two domains, hereafter referred to as the large domain and the small domain, that are separated by a flexible hinge region. As with other proteins that adopt the hexokinase fold, substrates bin

  Attempting to further elucidate the role of acetylcholine receptor and activation of the Gcgr without the influence of GLP-1, we used DT-Gcg mice with acute knockdown of all proglucagon products. This mouse model has previously been shown previously to have a normal total islet area as well as β ce

  Another key component of proper DA cell physiology is the basal firing activity of SN DA neurons, which maintains extracellular levels of dopamine in the dorsal striatum that are essential for voluntary movement [106]. Changes in SN DA neuron activity directly impacts the amount of dopamine released

  Interestingly, GAL has also been shown to be co-expressed and/or secreted in luteinizing hormone releasing hormone (LHRH) (Merchenthaler et al., 1991, Marks et al., 1994) and kisspeptin (KISS) neurons (Porteous et al., 2011). Furthermore, GAL was shown to stimulate luteinizing hormone (LH) secretion

  According to the World Health Organization (WHO) classification, oligodendrogliomas or anaplastic oligodendrogliomas are primary neoplasms of the central nervous system, which are predominantly composed of cells morphologically resembling oligodendrocytes [23]. These tumors are often estimated to re

  In tumor cells HK-II induction is mediated by Akt/mTOR pathway [6], [11]. HK-II dynamically shuttles between the mitochondria and cytoplasm under different metabolic conditions. In cardiomyocytes, Akt enhances HK-II binding to mitochondria, setting the heart at a state resistant to ischemic injury [
