Formyl peptide receptors (FPRs), which are seven-membrane G-protein coupled receptors, recognize chemotactic signals to protect hosts from pathogenic infections and mediate inflammatory responses in ...
The µ-opioid receptor (µOR) is a well-established target for analgesia 1, yet conventional opioid receptor agonists cause serious adverse effects, notably addiction and respiratory depression. These ...
Neuropeptide FF receptor 1 (NPFFR1) and NPFFR2 regulate several biological functions and there is a lack of blockers for these receptors that allow the study of their function. Université de ...
The opioid-modulating peptides NPFF and RFRP-3 selectively activate NPFFR1 and NPFFR2 through a message–address binding mechanism, where conserved motifs at the peptides’ C-termini engage the ...
