  • Opioid Receptors and Protonation-Coupled Binding of Opioid Drugs

    Opioid receptors are G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) part of cell signaling paths of direct interest The potentially low pH at tissue targeted by opioid drugs in pain management could impact drug binding to the opioid receptor, because opioid drugs typically have a protonated amino group that contributes to receptor binding, and the functioning of GPCRs may involve protonation change.

  • β-arrestin1 promotes tauopathy by transducing GPCR signaling, disrupting microtubules and autophagy

    G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) have been shown to play integral roles in Alzheimer's disease pathogenesis However, it is unclear how diverse GPCRs similarly affect Aβ and tau pathogenesis. GPCRs share a common mechanism of action via the β-arrestin scaffolding signaling complexes, which not only serve to desensitize GPCRs by internalization, but also mediate multiple downstream signaling events As signaling via the GPCRs, β2-adrenergic receptor (β2AR), and metabotropic glutamate receptor 2 (mGluR2
