6. Discovery of Novel Receptors for Lipid Mediators - a study leading to the identification of receptors involved in metabolism and the immune system
Sammanfattning : Intercellular communication is of crucial importance in regulating physiology and G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) have evolved as an important mechanism in this process. Of the approximately 800 human GPCRs, about 160 are still considered to be “orphan” receptors for which an endogenous ligand remains to be identified. LÄS MER
7. Computational prediction of ligand binding in peptide G-protein coupled receptors
Sammanfattning : G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) are a superfamily of membrane receptors involved in a wide variety of biological processes, and their malfunction is associated with many diseases. Consequently, GPCRs are targeted by one-third of the drugs on the market, and constitute the focus of active public and private research in the search of more effective drugs. LÄS MER
8. Functional Characterization of Centrally Expressed Solute Carriers and G Protein-Coupled Receptors
Sammanfattning : Transmembrane proteins are gatekeepers of the cells; controlling the transport of substrates as well as communicating signals among cells and between the organelles and cytosol. Solute carriers (SLC) and G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) are the largest family of membrane transporters and membrane receptors respectively. LÄS MER
9. Assay development for studies of G protein-coupled receptors at the single-molecule level
Sammanfattning : G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), also known as seven transmembrane (7TM) receptors,is the largest family of cell surface receptors. These receptors play a key role in transmittinga wide variety of signals across the cell membrane and are involved in physiologicalprocesses such as sensory transduction, cell-cell communication, neuronal transmission,and hormonal signaling.

10. Recombinant CXCR4/CCR5 hybrid receptors as tools for studies of HIV-1 receptor usage
Sammanfattning : The chemokine receptors CCR5 and CXCR4 are required, together with CD4, for the entry of HIV-1 into target cells. CCR5 using HIV-1 dominates during transmission and the asymptomatic phase of infection. During progression, virus phenotypes with the ability to use CXCR4 emerge in about 50% of infected individuals.
