The biological effects of IL7 are mediated by the binding of IL7 to the specific cell surface receptor. The functional high-affinity IL7 receptor consists of...
The EGF receptor family comprises several related receptor tyrosine kinases that are frequently overexpressed in a variety of carcinomas. Members of this...
Dok-1 associates with the Ras GTPase activating protein (Ras GAP) upon tyrosine phosphorylation. Evidence suggests that p62 Dok-1 is a substrate of the...
The members of the murine Cdx family (Cdx1, Cdx2, and Cdx4) are members of the caudal-type homeobox family of genes, which are homologues of the Drosophila
Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is one of the most abundant neuropeptides in the mammalian nervous system and exhibits a diverse range of important physiologic...
This gene belongs to a family of genes that function as receptors for tachykinins. Receptor affinities are specified by variations in the 5'-end of the...
The neurokinin-1 (NK1) receptor is a G-protein-coupled receptor characterized by seven transmembrane helices which preferentially binds the neuropeptide...
The steroid progesterone induces the resumption of maturation in oocytes via a nongenomic pathway through binding to a novel, membrane progestin receptor...
Melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) is a 19 amino acid cyclic neuropeptide,which is mainly expressed in the hypothalamus. MCH modulates feeding behavior,...
Histamine is an inflammatory mediator that is ubiquitously expressed and has a broad range of pharmacologic effects. Specifically, it plays a role in the...
Follicle-stimulating hormone receptor (FSHR) is a 695 amino acid G-protein coupled receptor. FSH binds to the receptor in a hand-clasp fashion via its alpha...
EMR2 is a member of the EGF-TM7 receptor subfamily. EGF-TM7 receptors are a family of class B, seven-span transmembrane (TM7) receptors predominantly...
Two CRF receptors, designated CRF-RI and CFR-RII, exhibit distinct brain localizations.Two forms of CFR-RII, designated CFR-RIIalpha and CFR-RIIbeta, result...
The cannabinoid receptors (CB1 and CB2) are G protein-coupled receptors that inhibit adenylate cyclase activity in response to psychoactive cannabinoids.CB1...
Cysteinyl leukotriene (CysLTs) induce intracellular calcium mobilization through the binding of two distinct seven-transmembrane, G protein-coupled...
The cholecystokinin (CCK) family of peptide hormones have been implicated in numerous important physiologic events. These appear to be mediated through 2...
Bombesin Receptor 3 expression has been reported in lung (normal and cancer), nasal mucosa, placenta, and uterus. ESTs have been isolated from normal brain...
G protein-coupled receptors (GPRs), also known as seven transmembrane receptors, heptahelical receptors or 7TM receptors, comprise a superfamily of proteins...
G protein-coupled receptors (GPRs or GPCRs), are members of the largest protein family and play a role in many different stimulus-response pathways....
GPR signaling is an evolutionarily ancient mechanism used by all eukaryotes to sense environmental stimuli and mediate cell-cell communication. G...
