11. Electrophysiology-based investigations of G protein-coupled receptor pharmacology
Abstract : G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) constitute targets for ~34% of approved drugs. The muscarinic acetylcholine M2 receptor (M2R) activates G protein-coupled receptor inward rectifying potassium (GIRK) channels in the central nervous system and heart. Membrane potential modulates agonist potency at several GPCRs. READ MORE

12. G protein-coupled receptor regulation: The role of protein interactions and receptor trafficking
Abstract : The superfamily of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) is the largest gene family in the human genome. GPCR-mediated signaling operates in every human cell, and about 50% of existing clinically useful drugs act through GPCR. READ MORE

13. G Protein-Coupled Receptors; Discovery of New Human Members and Analyses of the Entire Repertoires in Human, Mouse and Rat
Abstract : G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are signal mediators that have a prominent role in the regulation of physiological processes and they make up the targets for 30-45% of all drugs. Papers I and II describe the discovery of new human GPCRs belonging to the Rhodopsin family, a family which contains many common drug targets. READ MORE

14. Computational prediction of ligand binding in peptide G-protein coupled receptors
Abstract : 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. READ MORE

15. Dopamine D2 receptor G protein coupling and it's regulation
Abstract : Dopamine (DA) receptors belong to the superfamily of G protein coupled receptors. The D2 DA receptor is negatively coupled with adenylate cyclase via pertussis toxin sensitive (Gi/o) G proteins. READ MORE
