  • In vivo metabolic effects after acute activation of skeletal muscle G s signaling

    Methods: To address this question, we studied mice that express a Gs-coupled designer G protein-coupled receptor (Gs-DREADD or GsD) selectively in skeletal muscle. (β2-adrenergic receptor and CRF2 receptor) and studied the acute metabolic effects of activating these receptors in vivo by highly selective agonists (clenbuterol and urocortin 2 (UCN2), respectively). However, acute in vivo stimulation of endogenous Gs-coupled receptors enriched in SKM has only a limited

  • Orthosteric Binding Experiments: How to Avoid the Most Common Data Pitfalls

    After a ligand binds, the receptor may transition further—often via G protein coupling. When G proteins are abundant, curves look clean because every receptor–ligand complex can couple. When receptor levels rise or G proteins become limiting, the system becomes stoichiometrically constrained Changing receptor expression or G protein levels does not  remove curve heterogeneity. Protein concentration:  Too much receptor depletes tracer and invalidates mass-action assumptions.
