Psychiatry related information on LGR6

  • Many drugs of abuse signal through receptors that couple to G proteins (GPCRs), so the factors that control GPCR signaling are likely to be important to the understanding of drug abuse [1].
 

High impact information on LGR6

  • RATIONALE: In cell culture systems, agonists can promote the phosphorylation and internalization of receptors coupled to G proteins (GPCR), leading to their desensitization [2].
  • This analysis revealed that GPR49, an orphan G Protein-Coupled Receptor (GPCR) is overexpressed in 66% (10/15) colon tumors compared with normal colon tissues [3].
