GPCRs are the largest receptor class, affecting almost every aspect of human physiology, with 35% of all approved drugs acting on GPCRs. They regulate sensory and neuronal signaling, as well as a ...

In the march of metastasis, a molecular trail of crumbs guides some cancer cells from the primary tumor to establish new ...

Researchers used AlphaFold3, the latest AI-based protein modeling system, to predict the structures of all 25 known human ...

A number of membrane proteins that are present on the cell membrane control external and internal material transportation, cell protection and signal transmission. The diversity of functions of ...

If future studies confirm the rescued receptors work normally, the study offers a new roadmap for rare disease drug development.

Lefkowitz started to trace cell receptors in 1968. Using radioactivity, he managed to unveil several receptors, including one for adrenalin, the β-adrenergic receptor. His team then extracted the ...

A GPS-like technique has been used to track G protein-coupled receptor movement, revealing how these essential receptors function. Although G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are crucial to the ...

Taste, pain, or response to stress — nearly all essential functions in the human body are regulated by molecular switches called G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). Researchers at the University of ...

AbbVie is paying $255 million cash to acquire British biotech DJS Antibodies and its platform for targeting transmembrane proteins. DJS is focused on difficult-to-drug disease-causing proteins, such ...
