Disease relevance of GPR37

 

High impact information on GPR37

 

Psychiatry related information on GPR37

  • In the absence of Pael-R, overexpression of TRX in all neurons increased the level of locomotor activity in aged flies and extended the mean longevity by 15% [7].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of GPR37

 

Biological context of GPR37

  • The GPR37 genomic sequence was mapped to chromosome 7q31, and it was isolated upon screening of a chromosome 7-specific genomic library [8].
  • The GPR37 cDNA predicts a single open reading frame coding for a 613-amino-acid protein with seven hydrophobic transmembrane domains [8].
  • Although the ligand for the putative GPR37 receptor has not been identified, its deduced amino acid sequence shows a high degree of homology (approximately 40% in the transmembrane regions) with most mammalian peptide-specific G-protein-coupled receptors and particularly with the human endothelin-B, bombesin-BB1, and bombesin-BB2 receptors [8].
  • The GPR37 gene spans more than 25 kb and contains two exons and a single intron which interrupts the GPR37 cDNA within the sequence encoding the presumed third transmembrane domain [8].
  • A cDNA sequence encoding a putative peptide-specific G-protein-coupled receptor (GPR37) was isolated from a set of human brain frontal lobe expressed sequence tags [8].
 

Anatomical context of GPR37

 

Associations of GPR37 with chemical compounds

  • Parkin specifically ubiquitinates the unfolded Pael-R and promotes its degradation, resulting in suppression of cell death induced by the accumulation of unfolded Pael-R [1].
  • Electrophysiological recordings in frog oocytes and in mammalian cell lines as well as Ca(2+) mobilisation assays revealed nanomolar affinities of HA to GPR37 [11].
  • The predicted mouse GPR37 protein contains seven putative hydrophobic transmembrane domains, as well as a long (249 amino acid residues), arginine- and proline-rich amino-terminal extracellular domain, which is also a distinctive feature of the human GPR37 receptor [12].
 

Regulatory relationships of GPR37

  • Specific binding of radiolabeled ET-1 and ET-3 to membrane preparations and to intact cells expressing recombinant protein of hET(B)R-LP/HA did not show any significant difference of binding properties between cells transfected with plasmid DNA, hET(B)R-LP/HA/pcDNA1/Amp, and cells untransfected, including both COS7 cells and HEK293 cells [13].
