Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma) is a nuclear receptor implicated in adipocyte differentiation and insulin sensitivity. We investigated whether PPARgamma expression is dependent on the activity of adipocyte differentiation and d ...
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) constitute an abundant family of membrane receptors of high pharmacol. interest. Cell-based assays are the predominant means of assessing GPCR activation, but are limited by their inherent complexity. Functional mol. ass ...
A review. Cell-based assays are the predominant means of assessing activation of ionotropic receptors and G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), but are limited by their inherent complexity. Here we present an approach to immobilize receptors stably and with ...
A fluorescently labeled ligand for the 5-HT3 serotonin receptor was synthesized and its sub-nanomolar affinity for the purified, detergent solubilized receptor was measured. The change in the ligand's fluorescence upon receptor binding was used to directly ...
The ability of organisms, or individual cells, to react to external chemical signals, which are detected and transduced by cell-surface receptors, is crucial for their survival. These receptors are the targets of the majority of clinically used medicines. ...
Although correct cycling of neuronal membrane proteins is essential for neurite outgrowth and synaptic plasticity, neuron-specific proteins of the implicated endosomes have not been characterized. Here we show that a previously cloned, developmentally regu ...
