1-80 1.29e-53

seven-transmembrane G protein-coupled receptor superfamily; This hierarchical evolutionary model represents the seven-transmembrane (7TM) receptors, often referred to as G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), which transmit physiological signals from the outside of the cell to the inside via G proteins. GPCRs constitute the largest known superfamily of transmembrane receptors across the three kingdoms of life that respond to a wide variety of extracellular stimuli including peptides, lipids, neurotransmitters, amino acids, hormones, and sensory stimuli such as light, smell and taste. All GPCRs share a common structural architecture comprising of seven-transmembrane (TM) alpha-helices interconnected by three extracellular and three intracellular loops. A general feature of GPCR signaling is agonist-induced conformational changes in the receptors, leading to activation of the heterotrimeric G proteins, which consist of the guanine nucleotide-binding G-alpha subunit and the dimeric G-beta-gamma subunits. The activated G proteins then bind to and activate numerous downstream effector proteins, which generate second messengers that mediate a broad range of cellular and physiological processes. However, some 7TM receptors, such as the type 1 microbial rhodopsins, do not activate G proteins. Based on sequence similarity, GPCRs can be divided into six major classes: class A (the rhodopsin-like family), class B (the Methuselah-like, adhesion and secretin-like receptor family), class C (the metabotropic glutamate receptor family), class D (the fungal mating pheromone receptors), class E (the cAMP receptor family), and class F (the frizzled/smoothened receptor family). Nearly 800 human GPCR genes have been identified and are involved essentially in all major physiological processes. Approximately 40% of clinically marketed drugs mediate their effects through modulation of GPCR function for the treatment of a variety of human diseases including bacterial infections.

7 transmembrane receptor (rhodopsin family); This family contains, amongst other G-protein-coupled receptors (GCPRs), members of the opsin family, which have been considered to be typical members of the rhodopsin superfamily. They share several motifs, mainly the seven transmembrane helices, GCPRs of the rhodopsin superfamily. All opsins bind a chromophore, such as 11-cis-retinal. The function of most opsins other than the photoisomerases is split into two steps: light absorption and G-protein activation. Photoisomerases, on the other hand, are not coupled to G-proteins - they are thought to generate and supply the chromophore that is used by visual opsins.

non-visual pinopsins, member of the class A family of seven-transmembrane G protein-coupled receptors; Pinopsins are found in the pineal organ of birds, reptiles and amphibians, but are absent from teleosts and mammals. The vertebrate non-visual opsin family includes pinopsins, parapinopsin, VA (vertebrate ancient) opsins, and parietopsins. These non-visual opsins are expressed in various extra-retinal tissues and/or in non-rod, non-cone retinal cells. They are thought to be involved in light-dependent physiological functions such as photo-entrainment of circadian rhythm, photoperiodicity and body color change. Pinopsins belong the class A of the G protein-coupled receptors and possess seven-transmembrane (TM) alpha-helices interconnected by three extracellular and three intracellular loops.

type 2 opsins in animals, member of the class A family of seven-transmembrane G protein-coupled receptors; This rhodopsin family represents the type 2 opsins found in vertebrates and invertebrates except sponge. Type 2 opsins primarily function as G protein coupled receptors and are responsible for vision as well as for circadian rhythm and pigment regulation. On the contrary, type 1 opsins such as bacteriorhodopsin and proteorhodopsin are found in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic microbes, functioning as light-gated ion channels, proton pumps, sensory receptors and in other unknown functions. Although these two opsin types share seven-transmembrane domain topology and a conserved lysine reside in the seventh helix, type 1 opsins do not activate G-proteins and are not evolutionarily related to type 2. Type 2 opsins can be classified into six distinct subfamilies including the vertebrate opsins/encephalopsins, the G(o) opsins, the G(s) opsins, the invertebrate G(q) opsins, the photoisomerases, and the neuropsins.

non-visual parapinopsin, member of the class A family of seven-transmembrane G protein-coupled receptors; This group includes the non-visual pineal pigment, parapinopsin, which is a member of the class A of the seven transmembrane G protein-coupled receptors. Parapinopsin serves as a UV-sensitive pigment for the wavelength discrimination in the pineal-related organs of lower vertebrates such as reptiles, amphibians, and fish. Although parapinopsin is phylogenetically related to vertebrate visual pigments such as rhodopsin, which releases its retinal chromophore and bleaches, the parapinopsin photoproduct is stable and does not bleach. The vertebrate non-visual opsin family includes pinopsins, parapinopsin, VA (vertebrate ancient) opsins, and parietopsins. These non-visual opsins are expressed in various extra-retinal tissues and/or in non-rod, non-cone retinal cells.

neuropsin (Opsin-5), member of the class A family of seven-transmembrane G protein-coupled receptors; Neuropsin, also known as Opsin-5, is a photoreceptor protein expressed in the retina, brain, testes, and spinal cord. Neuropsin belongs to the type 2 opsin family of the class A G-protein coupled receptors. Mammalian neuropsin activates Gi protein-mediated photo-transduction pathway in a UV-dependent manner, whereas, in non-mammalian vertebrates, neuropsin is involved in regulating the photoperiodic control of seasonal reproduction in birds such as quail. As with other opsins, it may also act as a retinal photoisomerase.

teleost multiple tissue (tmt) opsin, member of the class A family of seven-transmembrane G protein-coupled receptors; Teleost multiple tissue (tmt) opsins are homologs of encephalopsin. Mouse encephalopsin (or panopsin) is highly expressed in the brain and testes, whereas the teleost homologs are localized to multiple tissues. The exact functions of the encephalopsins and tmt-opsins are unknown. The vertebrate non-visual opsin family includes pinopsins, parapinopsin, VA (vertebrate ancient) opsins, and parietopsins. These non-visual opsins are expressed in various extra-retinal tissues and/or in non-rod, non-cone retinal cells. They are thought to be involved in light-dependent physiological functions such as photo-entrainment of circadian rhythm, photoperiodicity and body color change. Tmt opsins belong to the class A of the G protein-coupled receptors and show strong homology to the vertebrate visual opsins.

vertebrate melanopsins and related opsins, member of the class A family of seven-transmembrane G protein-coupled receptors; This group represent the Gq-coupled rhodopsin subfamily consists of melanopsins, insect photoreceptors R1-R6, invertebrate Gq opsins as well as their closely related opsins. Melanopsins (also called Opsin-4) are the primary photoreceptor molecules for non-visual functions such as the photo-entrainment of the circadian rhythm and pupillary constriction in mammals. Mammalian melanopsins are expressed only in the inner retina, whereas non-mammalian vertebrate melanopsins are localized in various extra-retinal tissues such as iris, brain, pineal gland, and skin. The outer photoreceptors (R1-R6) are the insect Drosophila equivalent to the vertebrate rods and are responsible for image formation and motion detection. The invertebrate G(q) opsins includes the arthropod and mollusk visual opsins as well as invertebrate melanopsins, which are also found in vertebrates. Arthropods possess color vision by the use of multiple opsins sensitive to different light wavelengths. Members of this subfamily belong to the class A of the G protein-coupled receptors and have seven-transmembrane (TM) alpha-helices interconnected by three extracellular and three intracellular loops.

4-78 1.90e-08

rhodopsin receptor-like class A family of the seven-transmembrane G protein-coupled receptor superfamily; Class A rhodopsin-like receptors constitute about 90% of all GPCRs. The class A GPCRs include the light-sensitive rhodopsin as well as receptors for biogenic amines, lipids, nucleotides, odorants, peptide hormones, and a variety of other ligands. All GPCRs have a common structural architecture comprising of seven-transmembrane (TM) alpha-helices interconnected by three extracellular and three intracellular loops. A general feature of GPCR signaling is agonist-induced conformational changes in the receptors, leading to activation of the heterotrimeric G proteins, which consist of the guanine nucleotide-binding G-alpha subunit and the dimeric G-beta-gamma subunits. The activated G proteins then bind to and activate numerous downstream effector proteins, which generate second messengers that mediate a broad range of cellular and physiological processes. Based on sequence similarity, GPCRs can be divided into six major classes: class A (rhodopsin-like family), class B (Methuselah-like, adhesion and secretin-like receptor family), class C (metabotropic glutamate receptor family), class D (fungal mating pheromone receptors), class E (cAMP receptor family), and class F (frizzled/smoothened receptor family). Nearly 800 human GPCR genes have been identified and are involved essentially in all major physiological processes. Approximately 40% of clinically marketed drugs mediate their effects through modulation of GPCR function for the treatment of a variety of human diseases including bacterial infections.

7 transmembrane receptor (rhodopsin family); This family contains, amongst other G-protein-coupled receptors (GCPRs), members of the opsin family, which have been considered to be typical members of the rhodopsin superfamily. They share several motifs, mainly the seven transmembrane helices, GCPRs of the rhodopsin superfamily. All opsins bind a chromophore, such as 11-cis-retinal. The function of most opsins other than the photoisomerases is split into two steps: light absorption and G-protein activation. Photoisomerases, on the other hand, are not coupled to G-proteins - they are thought to generate and supply the chromophore that is used by visual opsins.

13-79 4.46e-08

neurokinin receptors (or tachykinin receptors), member of the class A family of seven-transmembrane G protein-coupled receptors; This group represents G-protein coupled receptors for a variety of neuropeptides of the tachykinin (TK) family. The tachykinins are widely distributed throughout the mammalian central and peripheral nervous systems and act as excitatory transmitters on neurons and cells in the gastrointestinal tract. The TKs are characterized by a common five-amino acid C-terminal sequence, Phe-X-Gly-Leu-Met-NH2, where X is a hydrophobic residue. The three major mammalian tachykinins are substance P (SP), neurokinin A (NKA), and neurokinin B (NKB). The physiological actions of tachykinins are mediated through three types of receptors: neurokinin receptor type 1 (NK1R), NK2R, and NK3R. SP is a high-affinity endogenous ligand for NK1R, which interacts with the Gq protein and activates phospholipase C, leading to elevation of intracellular calcium. NK2R is a high-affinity receptor for NKA, the tachykinin neuropeptide substance K. SP and NKA are found in the enteric nervous system and mediate in the regulation of gastrointestinal motility, secretion, vascular permeability, and pain perception. NK3R is activated by its high-affinity ligand, NKB, which is primarily involved in the central nervous system and plays a critical role in the regulation of gonadotropin hormone release and the onset of puberty.

insect photoreceptors R1-R6 and similar proteins, member of the class A family of seven-transmembrane G protein-coupled receptors; This group includes the insect photoreceptors and their closely related proteins. The Drosophila eye is composed of about 800 unit eyes called ommatidia, each of which contains eight photoreceptor cells (R1-R8). The six outer photoreceptors (R1-R6) function like the vertebrate rods and are responsible for motion detection in dim light and image formation. The R1-R6 photoreceptors express a blue-absorbing pigment, Rhodopsin 1(Rh1). The inner photoreceptors (R7 and R8) are considered the equivalent of the color-sensitive vertebrate cone cells, which express a range of different pigments. The R7 photoreceptors express one of two different UV absorbing pigments, either Rh3 or Rh4. Likewise, the R8 photoreceptors express either the blue absorbing pigment Rh5 or green absorbing pigment Rh6. These photoreceptors belong the class A of the G protein-coupled receptors and possess seven-transmembrane (TM) alpha-helices interconnected by three extracellular and three intracellular loops.

Peropsin belongs to the type 2 opsin family of the class A G-protein coupled receptors. Peropsin presumably plays a physiological role in the retinal pigment epithelium either by detecting light directly or monitoring the levels of retinoids, the primary light absorber in visual perception, or other pigment-related compounds in the eye.

3-79 4.28e-07

cholecystokinin receptors and related proteins, member of the class A family of seven-transmembrane G protein-coupled receptors; This group represents four G-protein coupled receptors that are members of the RFamide receptor family, including cholecystokinin receptors (CCK-AR and CCK-BR), orexin receptors (OXR), neuropeptide FF receptors (NPFFR), and pyroglutamylated RFamide peptide receptor (QRFPR). These RFamide receptors are activated by their endogenous peptide ligands that share a common C-terminal arginine (R) and an amidated phenylanine (F) motif. CCK-AR (type A, alimentary; also known as CCK1R) is found abundantly on pancreatic acinar cells and binds only sulfated CCK-peptides with very high affinity, whereas CCK-BR (type B, brain; also known as CCK2R), the predominant form in the brain and stomach, binds CCK or gastrin and discriminates poorly between sulfated and non-sulfated peptides. CCK is implicated in regulation of digestion, appetite control, and body weight, and is involved in neurogenesis via CCK-AR. There is some evidence to support that CCK and gastrin, via their receptors, are involved in promoting cancer development and progression, acting as growth and invasion factors. Orexins (OXs; also referred to as hypocretins) are neuropeptide hormones that regulate the sleep-wake cycle and potently influence homeostatic systems regulating appetite and feeding behavior or modulating emotional responses such as anxiety or panic. OXs are synthesized as prepro-orexin (PPO) in the hypothalamus and then proteolytically cleaved into two forms of isoforms: orexin-A (OX-A) and orexin-B (OX-B). OXA is a 33 amino-acid peptide with N-terminal pyroglutamyl residue and two intramolecular disulfide bonds, whereas OXB is a 28 amino-acid linear peptide with no disulfide bonds. OX-A binds orexin receptor 1 (OX1R) with high-affinity, but also binds with somewhat low-affinity to OX2R, and signals primarily to Gq coupling, whereas OX-B shows a strong preference for the orexin receptor 2 (OX2R) and signals through Gq or Gi/o coupling. The 26RFa, also known as QRFP (Pyroglutamylated RFamide peptide), is a 26-amino acid residue peptide that exerts similar orexigenic activity including the regulation of feeding behavior in mammals. It is the ligand for G-protein coupled receptor 103 (GPR103), which is predominantly expressed in paraventricular (PVN) and ventromedial (VMH) nuclei of the hypothalamus. GPR103 shares significant protein sequence homology with orexin receptors (OX1R and OX2R), which have recently shown to produce a neuroprotective effect in Alzheimer's disease by forming a functional heterodimer with GPR103. Neuropeptide FF (NPFF) is a mammalian octapeptide that has been implicated in a wide range of physiological functions in the brain including pain sensitivity, insulin release, food intake, memory, blood pressure, and opioid-induced tolerance and hyperalgesia. The effects of NPFF are mediated through neuropeptide FF1 and FF2 receptors (NPFF1-R and NPFF2-R) which are predominantly expressed in the brain. NPFF induces pro-nociceptive effects, mainly through the NPFF1-R, and anti-nociceptive effects, mainly through the NPFF2-R.

cholecystokinin receptor type A, member of the class A family of seven-transmembrane G protein-coupled receptors; Cholecystokinin receptors (CCK-AR and CCK-BR) are a group of G-protein coupled receptors which bind the peptide hormones cholecystokinin (CCK) or gastrin. CCK, which facilitates digestion in the small intestine, and gastrin, a major regulator of gastric acid secretion, are highly similar peptides. Like gastrin, CCK is a naturally-occurring linear peptide that is synthesized as a preprohormone, then proteolytically cleaved to form a family of peptides with the common C-terminal sequence (Gly-Trp-Met-Asp-Phe-NH2), which is required for full biological activity. CCK-AR (type A, alimentary; also known as CCK1R) is found abundantly on pancreatic acinar cells and binds only sulfated CCK-peptides with very high affinity, whereas CCK-BR (type B, brain; also known as CCK2R), the predominant form in the brain and stomach, binds CCK or gastrin and discriminates poorly between sulfated and non-sulfated peptides.

1-78 2.07e-06

vasopressin receptors and its related G protein-coupled receptors, member of the class A family of seven-transmembrane G protein-coupled receptors; Members of this group form a subfamily within the class A G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs), which includes the vasopressin and oxytocin receptors, the gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptors (GnRHRs), the neuropeptide S receptor (NPSR), and orphan GPR150. These receptors share significant sequence homology with each other, suggesting that they have a common evolutionary origin. Vasopressin, also known as arginine vasopressin or anti-diuretic hormone, is a neuropeptide synthesized in the hypothalamus. The actions of vasopressin are mediated by the interaction of this hormone with three tissue-specific subtypes: V1AR, V1BR, and V2R. Although vasopressin differs from oxytocin by only two amino acids, they have divergent physiological functions. Vasopressin is involved in regulating osmotic and cardiovascular homeostasis, whereas oxytocin plays an important role in the uterus during childbirth and in lactation. GnRHR, also known as luteinizing hormone releasing hormone receptor (LHRHR), plays an central role in vertebrate reproductive function; its activation by binding to GnRH leads to the release of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) from the pituitary gland. Neuropeptide S (NPS) promotes arousal and anxiolytic-like effects by activating its cognate receptor NPSR. NPSR has also been associated with asthma and allergy. GPR150 is an orphan receptor closely related to the oxytocin and vasopressin receptors.

13-79 4.62e-06

cholecystokinin receptors, member of the class A family of seven-transmembrane G protein-coupled receptors; Cholecystokinin receptors (CCK-AR and CCK-BR) are a group of G-protein coupled receptors which bind the peptide hormones cholecystokinin (CCK) or gastrin. CCK, which facilitates digestion in the small intestine, and gastrin, a major regulator of gastric acid secretion, are highly similar peptides. Like gastrin, CCK is a naturally-occurring linear peptide that is synthesized as a preprohormone, then proteolytically cleaved to form a family of peptides with the common C-terminal sequence (Gly-Trp-Met-Asp-Phe-NH2), which is required for full biological activity. CCK-AR (type A, alimentary; also known as CCK1R) is found abundantly on pancreatic acinar cells and binds only sulfated CCK-peptides with very high affinity, whereas CCK-BR (type B, brain; also known as CCK2R), the predominant form in the brain and stomach, binds CCK or gastrin and discriminates poorly between sulfated and non-sulfated peptides. CCK is implicated in regulation of digestion, appetite control, and body weight, and is involved in neurogenesis via CCK-AR. There is some evidence to support that CCK and gastrin, via their receptors, are involved in promoting cancer development and progression, acting as growth and invasion factors.

neuropeptide Y receptor-like found in insect and related proteins, member of the class A family of seven-transmembrane G protein-coupled receptors; This subgroup includes a novel G protein-coupled receptor (also known as PR4 receptor) from Drosophila melanogaster, which can be activated by the members of the neuropeptide Y (NPY) family, including NPY, peptide YY (PYY) and pancreatic polypeptide (PP), when expressed in Xenopus oocytes. These homologous peptides of 36-amino acids in length contain a hairpin-like structural motif, which referred to as the pancreatic polypeptide fold, and function as gastrointestinal hormones and neurotransmitters. The PR4 receptor also shares strong sequence homology to the mammalian tachykinin receptors (NK1R, NK2R, and NK3R), whose endogenous ligands are substance P (SP), neurokinin A (NKA), and neurokinin B (NKB), respectively. The tachykinins function as excitatory transmitters on neurons and cells in the gastrointestinal tract.

tachykinin receptors and related receptors, member of the class A family of seven-transmembrane G protein-coupled receptors; This group includes the neurokinin/tachykinin receptors and its closely related receptors such as orphan GPR83 and leucokinin-like peptide receptor. The tachykinins are widely distributed throughout the mammalian central and peripheral nervous systems and act as excitatory transmitters on neurons and cells in the gastrointestinal tract. The TKs are characterized by a common five-amino acid C-terminal sequence, Phe-X-Gly-Leu-Met-NH2, where X is a hydrophobic residue. The three major mammalian tachykinins are substance P (SP), neurokinin A (NKA), and neurokinin B (NKB). The physiological actions of tachykinins are mediated through three types of receptors: neurokinin receptor type 1 (NK1R), NK2R, and NK3R. SP is a high-affinity endogenous ligand for NK1R, which interacts with the Gq protein and activates phospholipase C, leading to elevation of intracellular calcium. NK2R is a high-affinity receptor for NKA, the tachykinin neuropeptide substance K. SP and NKA are found in the enteric nervous system and mediate in the regulation of gastrointestinal motility, secretion, vascular permeability, and pain perception. NK3R is activated by its high-affinity ligand, NKB, which is primarily involved in the central nervous system and plays a critical role in the regulation of gonadotropin hormone release and the onset of puberty.

vertebrate melanopsins (Opsin-4), member of the class A family of seven-transmembrane G protein-coupled receptors; Melanopsin (also called Opsin-4) is the G protein-coupled photopigment that mediates non-visual responses to light. In mammals, these photoresponses include the photo-entrainment of circadian rhythm, pupillary constriction, and acute nocturnal melatonin suppression. Mammalian melanopsins are expressed only in the inner retina, whereas non-mammalian vertebrate melanopsins are localized in various extra-retinal tissues such as iris, brain, pineal gland, and skin. Melanopsins belong the class A of the G protein-coupled receptors and possess seven-transmembrane (TM) alpha-helices interconnected by three extracellular and three intracellular loops.

invertebrate gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptors, member of the class A family of seven-transmembrane G protein-coupled receptors; GnRHR, also known as luteinizing hormone releasing hormone receptor (LHRHR), plays an central role in vertebrate reproductive function; its activation by binding to GnRH leads to the release of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) from the pituitary gland. GnRHR is expressed predominantly in the gonadotrope membrane of the anterior pituitary as well as found in numerous extrapituitary tissues including lymphocytes, breast, ovary, prostate, and cancer cell lines. There are at least two types of GnRH receptors, GnRHR1 and GnRHR2, which couple primarily to G proteins of the Gq/11 family. GnRHR is closely related to the adipokinetic hormone receptor (AKH), which binds to a lipid-mobilizing hormone that is involved in control of insect metabolism. They share a common ancestor and are members of the class A of the seven-transmembrane, G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) superfamily.

neuropeptide Y receptors and related proteins, member of the class A family of seven-transmembrane G protein-coupled receptors; NPY is a 36-amino acid peptide neurotransmitter with a C-terminal tyrosine amide residue that is widely distributed in the brain and the autonomic nervous system of many mammalian species. NPY exerts its functions through five, G-protein coupled receptor subtypes including NPY1R, NPY2R, NPY4R, NPY5R, and NPY6R; however, NPY6R is not functional in humans. NYP receptors are also activated by its two other family members, peptide YY (PYY) and pancreatic polypeptide (PP). They typically couple to Gi or Go proteins, which leads to a decrease in adenylate cyclase activity, thereby decreasing intracellular cAMP levels, and are involved in diverse physiological roles including appetite regulation, circadian rhythm, and anxiety. Also included in this subgroup is prolactin-releasing peptide (PrRP) receptor (previously known as GPR10), which is activated by its endogenous ligand PrRP, a neuropeptide possessing C-terminal Arg-Phe-amide motif. There are two active isoforms of PrRP in mammals: one consists of 20 amino acid residues (PrRP-20) and the other consists of 31 amino acid residues (PrRP-31). PrRP receptor shows significant sequence homology to the NPY receptors, and a micromolar level of NPY can bind and completely inhibit the PrRP-evoked intracellular calcium response in PrRP receptor-expressing cells, suggesting that the PrRP receptor shares a common ancestor with the NPY receptors.

relaxin-3 like peptide receptors, member of the class A family of seven-transmembrane G protein-coupled receptors; This G protein-coupled receptor subfamily is composed of the relaxin-3 like peptide receptors, RNL3R1 and RNL3R2, and similar proteins. The relaxin-3 like peptide family includes relaxin-1, -2, -3, as well as insulin-like (INSL) peptides 3 to 6. RNL3/relaxin-3 and INSL5 are the endogenous ligands for RNL3R1 and RNL3R2, respectively. RNL3R1, also called GPCR135 or RXFP3, is predominantly expressed in the brain and is implicated in stress, anxiety, feeding, and metabolism. Insulin-like peptide 5 (INSL5), the endogenous ligand for RNL3R2 (also called GPCR142 or RXFP4), plays a role in fat and glucose metabolism. INSL5 is highly expressed in human rectal and colon tissues. Both RNL3R1 and RNL3R2 signal through G(i) protein and inhibit adenylate cyclase, thereby inhibit cAMP accumulation. RNL3R1 is shown to activate Erk1/2 signaling pathway.

galanin receptor and related proteins, member of the class A family of seven-transmembrane G protein-coupled receptors; This subfamily includes G-protein coupled galanin receptors, kisspeptin receptor and allatostatin-A receptor (AstA-R) in insects. These receptors, which are members of the class A of seven transmembrane GPCRs, share a high degree of sequence homology among themselves. The galanin receptors bind galanin, a neuropeptide that is widely expressed in the brain, peripheral tissues, and endocrine glands. Galanin is implicated in numerous neurological and psychiatric diseases including Alzheimer's disease, eating disorders, and epilepsy, among many others. KiSS1-derived peptide receptor (also known as GPR54 or kisspeptin receptor) binds the peptide hormone kisspeptin (metastin), which encoded by the metastasis suppressor gene (KISS1) expressed in various endocrine and reproductive tissues. AstA-R is a G-protein coupled receptor that binds allatostatin A. Three distinct types of allatostatin have been identified in the insects and crustaceans: AstA, AstB, and AstC. They both inhibit the biosynthesis of juvenile hormone and exert an inhibitory influence on food intake. Therefore, allatostatins are considered as potential targets for insect control.

somatostatin receptor type 3, member of the class A family of seven-transmembrane G protein-coupled receptors; G protein-coupled somatostatin receptors (SSTRs) are composed of five distinct subtypes (SSTR1-5) that display strong sequence similarity with opioid receptors. All five receptor subtypes bind the natural somatostatin (somatotropin release inhibiting factor), a polypeptide hormone that regulates a wide variety of physiological functions such as neurotransmission, cell proliferation, contractility of smooth muscle cells, and endocrine signaling as well as inhibition of the release of many secondary hormones. SSTR3 is coupled to inward rectifying potassium channels. SSTR3 plays critical roles in growth hormone secretion, endothelial cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. Furthermore, SSTR3 is expressed in the normal human pituitary and in nearly half of pituitary growth hormone adenomas.

orexin receptors, member of the class A family of seven-transmembrane G protein-coupled receptors; Orexins (OXs, also referred to as hypocretins) are neuropeptide hormones that regulate the sleep-wake cycle and potently influence homeostatic systems regulating appetite and feeding behavior or modulating emotional responses such as anxiety or panic. OXs are synthesized as prepro-orexin (PPO) in the hypothalamus and then proteolytically cleaved into two forms of isoforms: orexin-A (OX-A) and orexin-B (OX-B). OXA is a 33 amino-acid peptide with N-terminal pyroglutamyl residue and two intramolecular disulfide bonds, whereas OXB is a 28 amino-acid linear peptide with no disulfide bonds. OX-A binds orexin receptor 1 (OX1R) with high-affinity, but also binds with somewhat low-affinity to OX2R, and signals primarily to Gq coupling, whereas OX-B shows a strong preference for the orexin receptor 2 (OX2R) and signals through Gq or Gi/o coupling. Thus, activation of OX1R or OX2R will activate phospholipase activity and the phosphatidylinositol and calcium signaling pathways. Additionally, OX2R activation can also lead to inhibition of adenylate cyclase.

opioid receptors and related proteins, member of the class A family of seven-transmembrane G protein-coupled receptors; This group includes opioid receptors, somatostatin receptors, melanin-concentrating hormone receptors (MCHRs), and neuropeptides B/W receptors. Together they constitute the opioid receptor-like family, members of the class A G-protein coupled receptors. Opioid receptors are coupled to inhibitory G proteins of the G(i/o) family and are involved in regulating a variety of physiological functions such as pain, addiction, mood, stress, epileptic seizure, and obesity, among many others. G protein-coupled somatostatin receptors (SSTRs), which display strong sequence similarity with opioid receptors, binds somatostatin (somatotropin release inhibiting factor), a polypeptide hormone that regulates a wide variety of physiological functions such as neurotransmission, cell proliferation, contractility of smooth muscle cells, and endocrine signaling as well as inhibition of the release of many secondary hormones. MCHR binds melanin concentrating hormone and is presumably involved in the neuronal regulation of food intake. Despite strong homology with somatostatin receptors, MCHR does not appear to bind somatostatin. Neuropeptides B/W receptors are primarily expressed in the CNS and stimulate the cortisol secretion by activating the adenylate cyclase- and the phospholipase C-dependent signaling pathways.

trissin receptor and related proteins, member of the class A family of seven-transmembrane G protein-coupled receptors; This subgroup represents the Drosophila melanogaster trissin receptor and closely related invertebrate proteins which are a member of the class A family of seven-transmembrane G-protein coupled receptors. The cysteine-rich trissin has been shown to be an endogenous ligand for the orphan CG34381 in Drosophila melanogaster. Trissin is a peptide composed of 28 amino acids with three intrachain disulfide bonds with no significant structural similarities to known endogenous peptides. Cysteine-rich peptides are known to have antimicrobial or toxicant activities, although frequently their mechanism of action is poorly understood. Since the expression of trissin and its receptor is reported to predominantly localize to the brain and thoracicoabdominal ganglion, trissin is predicted to behave as a neuropeptide. All GPCRs have a common structural architecture comprising of seven-transmembrane (TM) alpha-helices interconnected by three extracellular and three intracellular loops. A general feature of GPCR signaling is agonist-induced conformational changes in the receptors, leading to activation of the heterotrimeric G proteins, which consist of the guanine nucleotide-binding G-alpha subunit and the dimeric G-beta-gamma subunits. The activated G proteins then bind to and activate numerous downstream effector proteins, which generate second messengers that mediate a broad range of cellular and physiological processes.

substance-K receptor, member of the class A family of seven-transmembrane G protein-coupled receptors; The substance-K receptor (SKR), also known as tachykinin receptor 2 (TACR2) or neurokinin A receptor or NK2R, is a G-protein coupled receptor that specifically binds to neurokinin A. The tachykinins are widely distributed throughout the mammalian central and peripheral nervous systems and act as excitatory transmitters on neurons and cells in the gastrointestinal tract. The TKs are characterized by a common five-amino acid C-terminal sequence, Phe-X-Gly-Leu-Met-NH2, where X is a hydrophobic residue. The three major mammalian tachykinins are substance P (SP), neurokinin A (NKA), and neurokinin B (NKB). The physiological actions of tachykinins are mediated through three types of receptors: neurokinin receptor type 1 (NK1R), NK2R, and NK3R. SP is a high-affinity endogenous ligand for NK1R, which interacts with the Gq protein and activates phospholipase C, leading to elevation of intracellular calcium. NK2R is a high-affinity receptor for NKA, the tachykinin neuropeptide substance K. SP and NKA are found in the enteric nervous system and mediate the regulation of gastrointestinal motility, secretion, vascular permeability, and pain perception.

15-80 2.17e-03

G protein-coupled receptor 84 and similar proteins, member of the class A family of seven-transmembrane G protein-coupled receptors; GPR84, also known as the inflammation-related G-Protein coupled receptor EX33, is a receptor for medium-chain free fatty acid (FFA) with carbon chain lengths of C9 to C14. Among these medium-chain FFAs, capric acid (C10:0), undecanoic acid (C11:0), and lauric acid (C12:0) are the most potent endogenous agonists of GPR84, whereas short-chain and long-chain saturated and unsaturated FFAs do not activate this receptor. GPR84 contains a [G/N]RY-motif instead of the highly conserved Asp-Arg-Tyr (DRY) motif found in the third transmembrane helix (TM3) of the rhodopsin-like class A receptors and important for efficient G protein-coupled signal transduction. All GPCRs have a common structural architecture comprising of seven-transmembrane (TM) alpha-helices interconnected by three extracellular and three intracellular loops. A general feature of GPCR signaling is agonist-induced conformational changes in the receptors, which then activate the heterotrimeric G proteins. In the case of GPR84, activation of the receptor couples to a pertussis toxin sensitive G(i/o)-protein pathway. GPR84 knockout mice showed increased Th2 cytokine production including IL-4, IL-5, and IL-13 compared to wild-type mice. It has been also shown that activation of GPR84 augments lipopolysaccharide-stimulated IL-8 production in polymorphonuclear leukocytes and TNF-alpha production in macrophages, suggesting that GPR84 may function as a proinflammatory receptor.

gonadotropin-releasing hormone and adipokinetic hormone receptors, member of the class A family of seven-transmembrane G protein-coupled receptors; Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) and adipokinetic hormone (AKH) receptors share strong sequence homology to each other, suggesting that they have a common evolutionary origin. GnRHR, also known as luteinizing hormone releasing hormone receptor (LHRHR), plays an central role in vertebrate reproductive function; its activation by binding to GnRH leads to the release of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) from the pituitary gland. Adipokinetic hormone (AKH) is a lipid-mobilizing hormone that is involved in control of insect metabolism. Generally, AKH behaves as a typical stress hormone by mobilizing lipids, carbohydrates and/or certain amino acids such as proline. Thus, it utilizes the body's energy reserves to fight the immediate stress problems and subdue processes that are less important. Although AKH is known to responsible for regulating the energy metabolism during insect flying, it is also found in insects that have lost its functional wings and predominantly walk for their locomotion. Both GnRH and AKH receptors are members of the class A of the seven-transmembrane, G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) superfamily.

proton-sensing G protein-coupled receptor 4, member of the class A family of seven-transmembrane G protein-coupled receptors; G-protein-coupled receptor 4 (GPR4) is a member of the proton-sensing G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) family which also includes the G2 accumulation receptor (G2A, also known as GPR132), the T cell death associated gene-8 receptor (TDAG8, GPR65), ovarian cancer G-protein receptor 1 (OGR-1, GPR68), and G-protein-coupled receptor 4 (GPR4). Proton-sensing G-protein coupled receptors sense pH of 7.6 to 6.0 and mediates a variety of biological activities in neutral and mildly acidic pH conditions, whereas the acid-sensing ionotropic ion channels typically sense strong acidic pH. GPR4 overexpression in melanoma cells was shown to reduce cell migration, membrane ruffling, and cell spreading under acidic pH conditions. Activation of GPR4 via extracellular acidosis is coupled to the G(s), G(q), and G(12/13) pathways.

4-42 4.75e-03

bombesin receptor subfamily, member of the class A family of seven-transmembrane G protein-coupled receptors; This bombesin subfamily of G-protein coupled receptors consists of neuromedin B receptor (NMBR), gastrin-releasing peptide receptor (GRPR), and bombesin receptor subtype 3 (BRS-3). Bombesin is a tetradecapeptide, originally isolated from frog skin. Mammalian bombesin-related peptides are widely distributed in the gastrointestinal and central nervous systems. The bombesin family receptors couple mainly to the G proteins of G(q/11) family. NMBR functions as the receptor for the neuropeptide neuromedin B, a potent mitogen and growth factor for normal and cancerous lung and for gastrointestinal epithelial tissues. Gastrin-releasing peptide is an endogenous ligand for GRPR and shares high sequence homology with NMB in the C-terminal region. Both NMB and GRP possess bombesin-like biochemical properties. BRS-3 is classified as an orphan receptor and suggested to play a role in sperm cell division and maturation. BRS-3 interacts with known naturally-occurring bombesin-related peptides with low affinity; however, no endogenous high-affinity ligand to the receptor has been identified. The bombesin receptor family belongs to the seven transmembrane rhodopsin-like G-protein coupled receptors (class A GPCRs), which perceive extracellular signals and transduce them to guanine nucleotide-binding (G) proteins.

serotonin receptor subtype 1A from vertebrates, member of the class A family of seven-transmembrane G protein-coupled receptors; The 5-HT1 receptors, one of 14 mammalian 5-HT receptors, is a member of the class A of GPCRs and is activated by the endogenous neurotransmitter and peripheral signal mediator serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT). The 5-HT1 receptors mediate inhibitory neurotransmission by coupling to G proteins of the G(i/o) family, which lead to a decrease in adenylate cyclase activity, thereby decreasing intracellular cAMP levels and calcium influx. The 5-HT1 receptor subfamily includes 5 subtypes: 5-HT1A, 5-HT1B, 5-HT1D, 5-HT1E, and 5-HT1F. There is no 5-HT1C receptor subtype, as it has been reclassified as the 5-HT2C receptor. In the CNS, serotonin is involved in the regulation of appetite, mood, sleep, cognition, learning and memory, as well as implicated in neurologic disorders such as migraine, schizophrenia, and depression.

FMRFamide (Phe-Met-Arg-Phe) receptors and related proteins, member of the class A family of seven-transmembrane G protein-coupled receptors; This group includes Drosophila melanogaster G-protein coupled FMRFamide (Phe-Met-Arg-Phe-NH2) receptor DrmFMRFa-R and related invertebrate receptors, as well as the vertebrate proteins GPR139 and GPR142. DrmFMRFa-R binds with high affinity to FMRFamide and intrinsic FMRFamide-related peptides. FMRFamide is a neuropeptide from the family of FMRFamide-related peptides (FaRPs), which all containing a C-terminal RFamide (Arg-Phe-NH2) motif and have diverse functions in the central and peripheral nervous systems. FMRFamide is an important neuropeptide in many types of invertebrates such as insects, nematodes, molluscs, and worms. In invertebrates, the FMRFamide-related peptides are involved in the regulation of heart rate, blood pressure, gut motility, feeding behavior, and reproduction. On the other hand, in vertebrates such as mice, they play a role in the modulation of morphine-induced antinociception. Orphan receptors GPR139 and GPR142 are very closely related G protein-coupled receptors, but they have different expression patterns in the brain and in other tissues. These receptors couple to inhibitory G proteins and activate phospholipase C. Studies suggested that dimer formation may be required for their proper function. GPR142 is predominantly expressed in pancreatic beta-cells and mediates enhancement of glucose-stimulated insulin secretion, whereas GPR139 is mostly expressed in the brain and is suggested to play a role in the control of locomotor activity. Tryptophan and phenylalanine have been identified as putative endogenous ligands of GPR139.

pyroglutamylated RFamide peptide receptor, member of the class A family of seven-transmembrane G protein-coupled receptors; 26RFa, also known as QRFP (Pyroglutamylated RFamide peptide), is a 26-amino acid residue peptide that belongs to a family of neuropeptides containing an Arg-Phe-NH2 (RFamide) motif at its C-terminus. 26Rfa/QRFP exerts similar orexigenic activity including the regulation of feeding behavior in mammals. It is the ligand for G-protein coupled receptor 103 (GPR103), which is predominantly expressed in paraventricular (PVN) and ventromedial (VMH) nuclei of the hypothalamus. GPR103 shares significant protein sequence homology with orexin receptors (OX1R and OX2R), which have recently shown to produce a neuroprotective effect in Alzheimer's disease by forming a functional heterodimer with GPR103.

neurokinin 1 receptor, member of the class A family of seven-transmembrane G protein-coupled receptors; The neurokinin 1 receptor (NK1R), also known as tachykinin receptor 1 (TACR1) or substance P receptor (SPR), is a G-protein coupled receptor found in the mammalian central nervous and peripheral nervous systems. The tachykinins act as excitatory transmitters on neurons and cells in the gastrointestinal tract. The TKs are characterized by a common five-amino acid C-terminal sequence, Phe-X-Gly-Leu-Met-NH2, where X is a hydrophobic residue. The three major mammalian tachykinins are substance P (SP), neurokinin A (NKA), and neurokinin B (NKB). The physiological actions of tachykinins are mediated through three types of receptors: neurokinin receptor type 1 (NK1R), NK2R, and NK3R. SP is a high-affinity endogenous ligand for NK1R, which interacts with the Gq protein and activates phospholipase C, leading to elevation of intracellular calcium. SP is an extremely potent vasodilator through endothelium dependent mechanism and is released from the autonomic sensory nerves. NK2R is a high-affinity receptor for NKA, the tachykinin neuropeptide substance K. SP and NKA are found in the enteric nervous system and mediate in the regulation of gastrointestinal motility, secretion, vascular permeability, and pain perception.

somatostatin-like receptor for allatostatin C, member of the class A family of seven-transmembrane G protein-coupled receptors; G protein-coupled somatostatin receptors (SSTRs) are composed of five distinct subtypes (SSTR1-5) that display strong sequence similarity with opioid receptors. All five receptor subtypes bind the natural somatostatin (somatotropin release inhibiting factor), a polypeptide hormone that regulates a wide variety of physiological functions such as neurotransmission, cell proliferation, contractility of smooth muscle cells, and endocrine signaling as well as inhibition of the release of many secondary hormones. In Drosophila melanogaster and other insects, a 15-amino-acid peptide named allatostatin C(AstC) binds the somatostatin-like receptors. Two AstC receptors have been identified in Drosophila with strong sequence homology to human somatostatin and opioid receptors.

20-80 6.74e-03

anaphylatoxin receptors and related G protein-coupled chemokine receptors, member of the class A family of seven-transmembrane G protein-coupled receptors; This subfamily of G-protein coupled receptors includes anaphylatoxin receptors, formyl peptide receptors (FPR), prostaglandin D2 receptor 2, GPR1, and related chemokine receptors. The anaphylatoxin receptors are a group of G-protein coupled receptors that bind anaphylatoxins. The members of this group include C3a and C5a receptors. The formyl peptide receptors (FPRs) are chemoattractant GPCRs that involved in mediating immune responses to infection. They are expressed mainly on polymorphonuclear and mononuclear phagocytes and bind N-formyl-methionyl peptides (FMLP), which are derived from the mitochondrial proteins of ruptured host cells or invading pathogens. Chemokine receptor-like 1 (also known as chemerin receptor 23) is a GPCR for the chemoattractant adipokine chemerin, also known as retinoic acid receptor responder protein 2 (RARRES2), and for the omega-3 fatty acid derived molecule resolvin E1. Interaction with chemerin induces activation of the MAPK and PI3K signaling pathways leading to downstream functional effects, such as a decrease in immune responses, stimulation of adipogenesis, and angiogenesis. On the other hand, resolvin E1 negatively regulates the cytokine production in macrophages by reducing the activation of MAPK1/3 and NF-kB pathways. Prostaglandin D2 receptor, also known as CRTH2, is a chemoattractant G-protein coupled receptor expressed on T helper type 2 cells that binds prostaglandin D2 (PGD2). PGD2 functions as a mast cell-derived mediator to trigger asthmatic responses and also causes vasodilation. PGD2 exerts its inflammatory effects by binding to two G-protein coupled receptors, the D-type prostanoid receptor (DP) and PD2R2 (CRTH2). PD2R2 couples to the G protein G(i/o) type which leads to a reduction in intracellular cAMP levels and an increase in intracellular calcium. GPR1 is an orphan receptor that can be activated by the leukocyte chemoattractant chemerin, thereby suggesting that some of the anti-inflammatory actions of chemerin may be mediated through GPR1.

Three receptors subtypes have been so far identified: GAL1, GAL2, and GAL3. The specific functions of each subtype remains mostly unknown, although galanin is thought to be involved in a variety of neuronal functions such as hormone release and food intake. Galanin is implicated in numerous neurological and psychiatric diseases including Alzheimer's disease, depression, eating disorders, epilepsy and stroke, among many others.
