Disease relevance of GPR151

 

High impact information on GPR151

  • Among these GPCR targets are the receptors for peptides like bradykinin, chemokines, complement anaphylatoxins, corticotropin releasing factor, endothelins, melanocortins, tachykinins, urocortins, as well as the protease activated receptors (PARs) [2].
  • The coding regions of this family of receptors share 97-99% sequence similarity at both the protein and nucleotide level, and they also share high sequence identity with vertebrate galanin and orphanin-FQ/nociceptin GPCR families [3].
  • We conclude that galnon has multiple sites of interaction within the GPCR signaling cascade which mediate its physiological effects [4].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of GPR151

  • A PCR search of rat brain cDNA retrieved a clone partially encoding a GPCR [5].
