SREB
The SREB (Super Conserved Receptor Expressed in Brain) are a group of related G-protein coupled receptors. Since no endogenous ligands have yet been identified for these receptors they are classified […]
Free fatty acid receptor
The free fatty acid receptor is a G-protein coupled receptor which binds free fatty acids. There are four variants of the receptor each encoded by a separate gene (FFAR1 FFAR2 […]
Prokineticin
Prokineticin is a secreted protein that potently contracts gastrointestinal smooth muscle.Recently Prokineticins have been recognized in humans and other vertebrates. They are thought to be involved in several important physiological […]
Prokineticin receptor
The prokineticin receptor is a G protein-coupled receptor which binds the peptide hormone prokineticin. There are two variants each encoded by a different gene (PROKR1 PROKR2). These receptors mediate gastrointestinal […]
Nucleoporin
The nucleoporins are a family of proteins which are the constituent building blocks of the nuclear pore complex. The nuclear pore complex is a massive structure that extends across the […]
Voltage-dependent anion channel
Voltage-dependent anion channels are a class of porin ion channel located on the outer mitochondrial membrane. There is debate as to whether or not this channel is expressed in the […]
Neuromedin U receptor
The neuromedin U receptors are two G-protein coupled receptors which bind the neuropeptide hormones neuromedin U and neuromedin S. There are two subtypes of the neuromedin U receptor each encoded […]
Urotensin-II receptor
The urotensin-II receptor (UT also referred to as the hypocretin receptor) is a G-protein coupled receptor which binds the peptide hormone urotensin-II.
Orexin receptor
The orexin receptor (also referred to as the hypocretin receptor) is a G-protein-coupled receptor that binds the neuropeptide hormone orexin. There are two variants OX1 and OX2 each encoded by […]
